Order Marshal of the Teutonic Order
The Order Marshal or Supreme Marshal ( Summus Marescalcus ) was one of the five so-called " Großgebietiger" of the Teutonic Order . Like the other four Großgebietiger ( Großkomtur , Großspittler , Oberster Tressler , and Oberster Trappier) he was not elected, but personally appointed by the Grand Master .
The order marshal, who was also Komtur von Königsberg from 1330 , was responsible for the order's warfare ( castles , military equipment , weapons production, horses , wagons, etc.) and led the order's army during campaigns.
