Deutschordensballei Thuringia
The Deutschordensballei Thuringia ( per Turingiam et Saxoniam ) was one of the oldest and richest ballei (order provinces in the imperial territory ) of the Teutonic Order .
history
It was donated before 1221 by the Ludowingian Landgraves of Thuringia in Zwätze ( Zuezen ) - today the northern suburb incorporated into the city of Jena - and richly endowed with possessions in Thuringia and Hesse . The local Coming was the seat of Landkomture . Relics from this time as land comers can still be viewed in the village (e.g. buildings and information boards). The first two knights who came to the court of Konrad of Mazovia in 1228 came from her .
All those coming of the Teutonic Knights in central Germany were originally grouped together in the Thuringia Ballei. In 1255, however , the Hesse Ballei was split off from it. The Kommende Marburg became the land commander. The remaining Ballei was divided again in 1287: into the Ballei Thuringia and the Ballei Sachsen (Upper and Lower Saxony).
