Teutonic Folk Song “Die Eisenfaust am Lanzenschaft” [German]

Description English “Die Eisenfaust am Lanzenschaft“ (“The iron fist on the lance shaft“) is a song about the Teutonic Knights of Santa Maria, one of the three major Chivalry Orders of Christendom, founded in Jerusalem at the time of the 2nd Crusade. It was the first Chivalry Order to be dedicated to Our Lady. Later, the Pope transferred the Order to Germany to fight pagans in northeastern Europe, granting its knights the same indulgences of the Crusaders.
