Editing Teutonic Order (section)

==Name==
The name of the Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem<ref>{{cite book |last=Van Duren |first=Peter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=urBxAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Order+of+The+Teutonic+Knights+of+St.+Mary%27s+Hospital+in+Jerusalem%22 |title=Orders of Knighthood and of Merit |publisher=C. Smythe |year=1995 |isbn=0-86140-371-1 |pages=212}}</ref> is in {{langx|de|Orden der Brüder vom Deutschen Haus der Heiligen Maria in Jerusalem}} and in [[Latin]] {{lang|la|Ordo domus Sanctae Mariae Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum}}. Thus the term "Teutonic" echoes the German origins of the order ({{lang|la|Theutonicorum}}) in its Latin name.{{sfn|Innes-Parker|2013|p=102}} German-speakers commonly refer to the {{lang|de|Deutscher Orden}} (official short name, literally "German Order"), historically also as {{lang|de|Deutscher Ritterorden}} ("German Order of Knights"), {{lang|de|Deutschherrenorden}} ("Order of the German Lords"), {{lang|de|Deutschritterorden}} ("Order of the German Knights"), {{lang|de|Marienritter}} ("Knights of [[Mary, mother of Jesus|Mary]]"), {{lang|de|Die Herren im weißen Mantel}} ("The lords in white capes"), ''etc.''.

The Teutonic Knights have been known as {{lang|pl|Zakon Krzyżacki}} in Polish ("Order of the Cross") and as {{lang|lt|Kryžiuočių Ordinas}} in Lithuanian, {{lang|lv|Vācu Ordenis}} in Latvian, {{lang|et|Saksa Ordu}} or, simply, {{lang|et|Ordu}} ("The Order") in Estonian.

<!--This paragraph does not belong here, parts of it could be moved to [[Teutonic Knights in popular culture]] instead, for example:  A manuscript by Karl Marx once characterised the forces of the Order as ''Reitershunde'' – meaning something like a "pack of knights". Russian readers of Marx translated the phrase over-literally as "dog-knights" ({{lang|ru|Псы-рыцари|italic=no}}), which became a widespread, pejorative label for the Order in the Russian language – especially after the 1938 release of [[Sergei Eisenstein]]'s film [[Alexander Nevsky (film)|''Aleksandr Nevskij'']], which fictionalised the Knights' defeat in the [[Battle on the Ice]] of 1242.-->
