The Beginning

Idea to begin reenactment of Teutonic Order appeared at medieval festival in Trakai, Lithuania, year 2009. By that time we were reenacting free knights, without any strict goal or purpose. During the chat with other knight at the evening, I was convinced to begin more specified work, research in history - Teutonic Order in Riga. I owe this one to my old good friend from Templar - Olbard.

Historically, there was a Livonian Order here in Latvia, Riga. they were as independent branch of Teutonic order, thus they bore their crosses and colors.

Originally there were only two of our club who got interested in reenacting Teutonic Order: Me and nephew Nikolai. It wasn't very hard to get information about the Order in here, but later we faces more difficulties as two authentic sources we were using were in conflict one with other. (Livonian Chronicles) Lot of question arose, some are not answered still. Second problem was the civil equipment of Orders Knights, Halfbruders and sergeants. This research is still in progress, thou we did manage to find a lot of information about dress, accessories and footwear.

Third problem was short supplies of natural wood white cloth for cloaks and coat-of-arms. yet we managed to get some cloth, it was enough for two brothers only. our luck that halfbruder wore gray cloth.

Overcoming those problems as true Germans, we are set to represent Teutonic Order in best of it's light!
