WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH WEB SITE OF ORDER OF ST. MARIA OF JERUSALEM IN THE HOUSE OF ANTIOCH AND SVEVIA.

 

The original Order of St. Mary of Jerusalem, whose aim were to fight the enemies of the church and the charitable duties towards the poor, also adopted in its constitution in AD 1198 the Rule of the Order of St. John, as far as the care for the poor and sick was concerned. The new institution was confirmed by one of the German leaders, Duke Frederick of Swabia (Hohenstaufen), on November 19, 1199 and with the capture of Acre, the founders of the hospital were given a permanent site in the city. Pope Clement III confirmed this body as the "fratrum Theutonicorum ecclesiae S. Mariae Hiersolymitanae" by the Bull Quotiens postulatur of February 6, 1191 and, within a few years, the Order had developed as a Religious Military institution.

The Knights and members of The Order of St. Maria of Jerusalem (Teutonic Order) of the House of Antioch and Svevia  raise funds in order to contribute to worthy causes around the world. The Order prefers to make contributions directly to small, grassroots charities that are otherwise overlooked and where The Order's donation will have the greatest impact on people's lives. These traditionally include charities that support the homeless, ex-servicemen, hospitals and children's charities.

The Order of St. Maria of Jerusalem in the House of Antioch and Svevia was formed in 1993 as a type of Chivalry Organization to benefit various charities in needy places in the World.

Teutonic Order with the Black Cross

The Teutonic Order was created in 1143 when the Pope, Celestine II ordered the Knights Hospitaller to manage a German Hospital in Jerusalem which housed German pilgrims and crusaders. The Knights Hospitaller were commanded by the Pope that they should always be Germans themselves. This was done so as to develop a German religious institution in Palestine.
 
Pope Innocent III stated in his bull "Sacrosancta Romana ecclesia" from February 19, 1199 his contentment, that the Teutonic Order really followed the Rule of the Order of St. John in his care for the Poor and sick.
 
 

Innocent III initiated the Albigensian mission, dispatching Blessed Peter of Castelnau and Saint Dominic de Guzman to evangelize them, and the Albigensian Crusade following Blessed Peter's martyrdom. He supported the Teutonic Knights in the incursions along the Baltic. He called the Fourth Lateran Council on 15 November 1215. He approved and supported the orders and missions founded by Saint Dominic and Saint Francis of Assisi. Approved the Hospitallers of the Holy Ghost on 23 April 1198. Approved the Trinitarians on 17 December 1198. Approved the Humiliati in June 1201. Sent missionaries to Prussia. Built the hospital Santo Spirito in Sassia, which still stands. Constantly held papal court, with a good name for impartiality. Wrote extensively, and his De contemptu mundi (On the Contempt of This World) was widely read in the Middle Ages. His theory of papal monarchy had a profound effect on the development of the papacy. 

Pope Innocent III (Lotario di Segni; Lotario dei Conti) Italian nobility; his family were the counts of Segni, Italy. Related to Pope Gregory IX and Pope Alexander IV. Nephew of Pope Clement III. Received his basic education in Rome, Italy, theological education in Paris, France, legal training in Bologna, Italy. Cardinal in 1190.

Innocent brought the doctrine that since the spirit take preeminence over the body, and since the Church rules the spirit and earthly monarchs rule the body, earthly monarchs must be subject to the pope. Immediately upon election, he set out to make the pope an ecclesiastical ruler of the world with secular political power.

Innocent recognized the future Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II as king of Sicily after Frederick’s mother, Empress Constance, accepted papal authority over Sicily. On Constance’s death, Innocent took Frederick as his ward. He arbitrated the dispute between Philip of Swabia and Otto IV in Germany in favor of Otto in 1201, then in 1207 in favor of Philip, then after Philip’s murder he crowned Otto emperor in 1209, excommunicated him in 1210, and ordered the election of Frederick II (Hohenstaufen) as German king in 1212.
