"The Order of St. Maria of Jerusalem of the House of Antioch and Svevia was created in 1993 as a type of Chivalry Organization to benefit various charities in needy places of the world. It is an International, ecumenical, non-profit organization with no affiliation with any current or ancient noble or royal house or any other of chivalry.
The official name the Order of St. Maria of Jerusalem of the House of Antioch and Svevia. Our Order was founded on the principles first adopted by the original Teutonic Knights in Jerusalem 1118 and carried out in those early days from their home in the Temple of Solomon in the Holy City of Jerusalem, provided for them by then King of Jerusalem Baldwin, the Second. In these modern times, The Order of St. Maria (Teutonic Order) of Jerusalem is international in nature with members from over the World.
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.
