Tuetonic Order

Help me out here... the "Landmeister", is that a generic name for the Grand Master, or something else entirely?

I think it's Land Master.

Yes it's look here

Land-Master of the Teutonic Order in Prussia
(Landmeister des Deutschen Orden in Preussen).

"Owing to the fast spread of the Order the Grand Master appointed local commanders - so-called Landmeister (Provincial Masters) - in some provinces."

Hochmeister = Grand/high master
Landmeister = Grandpa equates it to like US governors...

But what is the "job instruction" for the Deutschmeister?

 

[Alwin von Arlt]

Deutschmeister came later on... I think after the Teutonic Order moved to Margentheim the title was "Hoch and Deutschemeister". High master or Deutschmeister (german) master.. since after the fall of prussia most of the Order's possessions were in Germany... then after 1809 it was just Austria and tryol.

Deutschmeister was(is?) the title for the Landmeister of Germany (Germany in german is as you know Deutchland). So the "job instruction" should be much like the one for the othe r Landmeisters.
