Status and legitimacy of the Order
The Order of Sovereign Knights of the Kingdom of Prussia has the status of an international sovereign aristocratic organisation that forms the Duchy of the Order of the Kingdom of Prussia.
The Order proclaims the principles of Christian doctrine, hereditary monarchy, aristocratic tradition and the primacy of natural universal values of a healthy traditional society.
The Order represents the preservation of the material and spiritual heritage of the Kingdom of Prussia as a state under the control of the Hohenzollern dynasty, a leading state in the fields of science, art, military affairs and agriculture. Members of the Order - subjects of the Duchy of the Royal Order of Prussia, are called upon to sacredly preserve the customs, traditions, tangible and intangible heritage of the Kingdom of Prussia, study it, and also enhance the glory of the great European state through its practical achievements. In addition, members of the Order - subjects of the Duchy of the Order of the Kingdom of Prussia - are called to preserve traditional values, to be defenders of the Christian faith, fatherhood, motherhood and childhood as the cornerstones of a healthy family, the hierarchical structure of society and the idea of monarchy.
The Order of Sovereign Knights of the Kingdom of Prussia was established on 05 June 2022 by Duke Sergei von der Wolf. The Source of Honour is His Grace Bishop Anatoly Malakhov, hierarch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, who has valid Apostolic Succession, and established the Order by Decree No. 7 of 11 April 2023. The Order is recognised by the highest hierarchies of Christian churches of several denominations, including Evangelical Lutheran, Old Catholic, Anglo-Catholic, and Orthodox, and has unquestioned recognition and legitimacy.
The Order of Sovereign Knights of the Kingdom of Prussia is not a dynastic order of the Hohenzollern Dynasty.
The Grand Master of the Order is not a member of the Hohenzollern Royal Family, and does not challenge the legitimate and unquestioned right to the Prussian Throne of the Head of the Hohenzollern Family, but merely assumes the mission of leading an organisation designed to preserve and revive the heritage of the Prussian crown.more
