(Order of the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem)
Welcome to the official website of ANIMA TEMPLI,
an international Templar Order active in Germany (Deutschland), Belgium (Belgique, België, Belgien), and beyond.
We are commonly known by the name KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
As an ecumenical Christian knightly order, we are not political, nor do we adhere Masonic, Gnostic or occult-esoteric ideologies.
We are a modern Templar Order, inspired by the highest ideals and values of the medieval Order of the Knights Templar, and we consider ourselves their spiritual heirs.
By taking the knightly vow, our members commit to leading a life of honor and excellence, upholding Christian values and chivalric virtues in their everyday lives. We choose a meaningful path by standing up for what is right and important for our family, society, and nation.
If you share these values and seek a path of knighthood and Christian devotion, we welcome you to Anima Templi in Germany, Belgium, and worldwide.
Contact and join us!
Provided we match, membership will be granted through a well-described and uncomplicated process.
