Abstract

Local inspections aiming to reform the Teutonic Order in Prussia, as well as the attempts at self-reform made by selected bailiwicks stood in opposition to the plans of the last two Grand Masters to transform the Order into Deutsche Adels in Prussen. Most Teutonic knights did not desire or no longer believed in the reform of the Order. The decentralization of the Teutonic State in Prussia and its administration led directly to the secularization of the Order, including the ideals and aspirations of Teutonic knights in the Baltic region
