Volkwin von Naumburg zu Winterstätten (also Wolquin, Folkwin, Folkvin, Wolguinus, Wolgulin, Middle High German: Volkewîn; died 22 September 1236) was the Master (Herrenmeister) of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword from 1209 to 1236.
[1] Originally from Naumburg, Germany, Volkwin succeeded Wenno von Rohrbach, the first master of the order.
Volkwin led the Sword-Brothers in the Northern Crusades in Latvia and Estonia against the Samogitians, Curonians, Semigallians, and Selonians.
The surviving Sword-Brothers were subsequently assimilated into the Teutonic Knights led by Hermann Balk, becoming its autonomous branch, the Livonian Order.
