In the studies on the Teutonic Order in Prussia, the issue of power within the corporation has been analyzed in previous research almost exclusively from a structural perspective, i.e. the “organs of power”, both central and local (territorial), have been studied. Researchers focused a.o. on the functioning of individual central and local offices, the structure of local administrative districts and its changes in the Order’s dominion (Herrschaft) in Prussia. The presented paper, in accordance with the general idea of the panel, attempts to frame the practice of the Teutonic Order’s officials not in structural approach, but rather from the perspective of interactionism. Using the example of the commanders of Ragnit, the various power relations that these officials entered and created both within their own religious corporation and in their “external” social environment will be analyzed.
