Original title: "Der Grenzlandwimpel", melody and lyrics by Willi Nufer, 1931.
The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem (official names: Latin: Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum, German: Orden der Brüder vom Deutschen Haus der Heiligen Maria in Jerusalem), commonly the Teutonic Order (Deutscher Orden, Deutschherrenorden or Deutschritterorden), is a Catholic religious order founded as a military order c. 1192 in Acre, Kingdom of Jerusalem.
The Teutonic Order was formed to aid Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to establish hospitals. Its members have commonly been known as the Teutonic Knights, having a small voluntary and mercenary military membership, serving as a crusading military order for protection of Christians in the Holy Land and the Baltics during the Middle Ages.
Purely religious since 1929, the Teutonic Order still confers limited honorary knighthoods. The Bailiwick of Utrecht of the Teutonic Order, a Protestant chivalric order, is descended from the same medieval military order and also continues to award knighthoods and perform charitable work.

Die Eisenfaust am Lanzenschaft,
Die Zügel in der Linken,
So sprengt des Reiches Ritterschaft
Und ihre Schwerter blinken.
|: Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Und ihre Schwerter blinken. :|
Das Balkenkreuz, das schwarze, fliegt
Voran auf weißem Grunde,
Verloren zwar, doch unbesiegt.
So klingt uns seine Kunde.
|: Heja, heja, heja! Heja! So klingt uns seine Kunde.:|
Es flattert hell im Morgenwind
Und grüßt der Grenzen Lande,
Grüßt die, die uns're Brüder sind,
Trotz Schmach und Not und Schande.
|: Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Trotz Schmach und Not und Schande. :|
Es fliegt voraus im Ritterskleid
Und mahnet uns zu streiten,
Für die verlorne Herrlichkeit,
Drum Wimpel flieg, wir reiten.
|: Heja, heja, heja! Heja! Drum Wimpel flieg, wir reiten. :|
