Ulrich von Jungingen.

Ulrich von Jungingen (1360 – July 15 1410) was the 26th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, as successor to his elder brother Konrad von Jungingen. His policy of confrontation with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland led to absolute disaster for the Order, and its ultimate demise.

Born in Jungingen in South-Western Germany, Ulrich moved to the Ordenstaat in Prussia and resided in Schlochau. He was komtur of Balga (1396 – 1404) and marshal and komtur of Königsberg (1404 – 1407). In 1407, when his brother died, he became the 26th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order.
