- Tomte 7y agoThe Johanniter are not really a branch, they are a protestant offshoot. Also, they are really young, founded in 1952. There is also the Malteser in Germany, and that's the real branch.
- HarryHirsch 7y agoYou are mixing up Johanniter-Unfallhilfe and Johanniterorden. The Catholic counterpart to the Unfallhilfe is the Malteser-Hilfsdienst, founded in 1953. The St John's branch of the Order was established 1538.
