Templerkommende Braunschweig, Religious monastery in Brunswick, Germany.

The Templerkommende consists of several buildings including a chapel dedicated to Saint Matthew and extends along a side channel of the Oker River.

Heinrich the Lion founded this Knights Templar monastery in 1173 after his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where he encountered both Templar and Johannite orders.

The monastery chapel contained multiple altars, including one with a painting of the Annunciation of Mary and another dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

Located in the Hagen district along Bohlweg street, the monastery site borders the Deutschordenshof complex to the south of the property.

In 1367, the Johannites sold the Tempelhof to the Holy Ghost Kaland in Brunswick, whose members became known locally as the Knights Templar.
