The Teutonic Order was founded in 1190 as a hospital brotherhood in Akkon . Since 1198 it also served as a knightly community to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land. In 1280 the possessions (coming) of the order, which were in the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, were grouped into 13 Balleien (order provinces). The Austrian ball was one of them.
