  The role of urban churches in the medieval Bailiwick of Brandenburg of the Knights HospitallersIn research the Knighs Hospitallers’ Bailiwick of Brandenburg so far mostly has been considered as a regional unit that consisted of commanderies, whose economy mainly based on the agriculture in their estates. The Possession of urban churches, however, ‒ we mean here not only urban parish churches, but also hospital churches and chapels in the urban space in possession of the order ‒ hardly did play a role in historical accounts. The bailiwick, which ranged up to 1370 from the Weser to the Vistula, in the 14th and 15th century included 26 commanderies, but also 20 urban churches, of which 17 lied in immediate towns. In the rectories of the urban churches the Knights put their own priests, which were responsible for the organisation of the entire local church life. Nine of them were subordinated under no commander but only the General Preceptor of the bailwick which could empower them as needed on other churches. As curators (“Pfleger”), the nine priests participated regularly in the chapters of the bailiwick and had the right to vote in all questions and to participate in the elections of the general preceptors. They represented the members of their mostly small priest convents which has been builded at the nine churches. So far we have still little knowlege about these convents. Apparently some of their brethren similar like mendicants moved around as terminarians in the region to raise funds for the order. Foundations of chapels, altars and masses for these churches were of such high importance for the Knights that they discussed about it and decided on their permission on the chapters of the bailiwick. Overall, therefore the urban churches have probably played an important role in the bailiwick and the whole order. Apparently the Knights in raising their ownership of urban churches besides their commanderies created a second economic pillar, which put their response money payment to the total order on a more solid material basis.;
