Commandery Church of the Johanniter Order near Frankfurt/Main (circa 1245
A.D.), now spiritual center of the Order. |
This
history of the Bailiwick of Brandenburg of the Knightly Order of St. John of the
Hospital at Jerusalem, known as the Johanniter Order, is its first
English-language history. The Johanniter Order is that part of the
900-year-old crusading Order of St. John which accepted the reformation of
the Church in the sixteenth century. The remaining Roman Catholic Order is
known as the Order of Malta. The
Johanniter Order is a lay religious and chivalric Order. It continues the
chivalric traditions dating from the time of the founding of the Order of St.
John in 1099. |
|
Its
headquarters are in Berlin. In addition to seventeen commanderies in Germany,
it has commanderies in Austria, Finland, France, Hungary and Switzerland, and
subcommanderies in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Namibia, South
Africa, the United States, and Venezuela. In Germany, it operates twenty
hospitals, seven day clinics, thirty-one nursing homes and an additional two
houses operated jointly with the Knights of Malta. It is led into the
twenty-first century by its thirty-seventh Herrenmeister, Prince Oskar von Preussen. |

Die Geschichte der
Ballei Brandenburg des Ritterlichen Ordens St. Johannis vom Spital zu
Jerusalem, bekannt als der Johanniterorden, ist seine erste Geschichte in
Englischer Sprache. Der
Johanniterorden ist jener Teil des 900 jährigen Kreuzfahrer Johanniterordens,
der die Reformation der Kirche im sechzehnten Jahrhundert annahm. Der verbleibende römisch-katholische Orden
ist bekannt als der Malteser Orden. Der Johanniterorden ist ein religiöser Laien- und Ritterorden. Er setzt die ritterlichen Traditionen aus der Gründerzeit des Ordens, 1099, fort. Sein Hauptsitz ist in Berlin.
Zusätzlich zu den 17 Genossenschaften in Deutschland bestehen
Assoziationen in Österreich, Finnland, Frankreich, Ungarn, und der
Schweiz, und Subkommenden in Australien, Belgien,
Canada, Kolumbien, Namibia, Süd Afrika und den Vereinigten Staaten von
Amerika und Venezuela. In Deutschland
unterhält er zwanzig Krankenhäuser, sieben Tageskliniken, einunddreissig
Altenheime und zusätzlich zwei
Häuser, die zusammen mit dem
Malteserorden bearbeitet werden. In das einundzwanzigste Jahrhundert wird
der Orden geführt von seinem siebenundreissigsten
Herrenmeister, Prinz Oskar von Preussen. |
