Coming of the ballei tucks

The Ballei Biesen of the Teutonic Order was an administrative area that extended over what is now Belgium , the southern Netherlands and the Lower Rhine . Their seat, Alden Biesen Castle near Tongeren north of Liège , is still preserved today.

history

Between 1228 and 1270, the Ballei Biesen was run together with the Ballei Utrecht by a Landkomtur in personal union. From the Ballei, more than twelve subordinate land committees, lordships and formulas as well as parishes and theological educational institutions in the Rhine-Maas area were administered in some cases. From 1317 at the latest, Biesen was its own ballot, which at that time already had a priority position in the Teutonic Order because it had an above-average amount of real estate in comparison to the other Teutonic Order branches in the region.

The coming of the Teutonic Order, which represented the monasteries of the knights and priests , were grouped together in larger associations. These associations were called balleien and can be compared with religious provinces . At their head was a land commander , who can be compared with a provincial in other orders .

Coming of the Ballei

In addition to the commendants listed below, there were also numerous parishes that were incorporated into the Ballei (Gemert, Vught, Nistelrode, Handel, Bakel, Gelsdorp, Gruitrode, Bekkevoort, Ordingen, Beek, Vroeghoven, Welz, Lüttich). The Ballei also maintained a seminary at the University of Leuven , a grammar school in Gemert and various student grants and a study center in Cologne . The following, who were only subject to the Biesen for a short time or temporarily, included:
