How Do I Become A Teutonic Knight?

Question

I wish to become a Teutonic Knight of the Teutonic Order. I was wondering as to how I join the order or if it isnt around anymore.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You might need a horse and a damsel in distress.

Answer 2

First you'll have to become a German-speaking Roman Catholic priest or nun.

The Order certainly still exists; for several centuries it was just an order of knighthood within the Habsburg Empire, but in 1929 it reconstituted itself as a purely religious Catholic organisation. Its headquarters are in Vienna, and there is a rather nice museum there of the order's historic treasures.
