Abstract
One of the interesting subjects in the study of Jerusalem during the Crusader period is the status and position of the German Structure located in the southeastern part of the Jerusalem. This article attempts to describe the phases in the establishment of the German structure in the 12th century, as well as its status in the mid-13th century till the demise of the city at the end of the Crusader presence in Jerusalem. This article describes also the history and the tradition of the German structure in its environment in Jerusalem. In this research I will try to direct and to observe if this German structure in its compound left any mark on the Teutonic Order tradition or its spiritual literature, which may link Jerusalem to the heritage and tradition of the Teutonic Knights in the late Middle Ages.
