ABSTRACT
Twice a year, the members of the Knightly Teutonic Order of the Bailiwick of Utrecht meet in the house that was built for them over 650 years ago. They come together to discuss their centuries-old possessions and the charities they finance with the proceeds. The fact that the Teutonic Order still exists in Utrecht is more a miracle than the logical outcome of events. The Bailiwick of Utrecht barely managed to survive the period of the Reformation and the Dutch Revolt against Spain, but it did become separated from the central organization. Hans Mol reported on this in the proceedings of the 2004 conference on the military orders and the Reformation, 1 and the problem has been studied in further detail by Daniela Grögor-Schiemann in her 2009 dissertation. 2
