Peter of Dusburg

Peter of Dusburg (died after 1326) was a priest-brother of the Teutonic Order and its foremost chronicler. In 1324 Grand Master Werner von Orseln commissioned him, probably in Königsberg, to write the Order's history; the resulting Chronicon terrae Prussiae described the Order and the Old Prussians in the 13th and early 14th centuries.

Completed by 1326 and later revised to include events through 1330, it expanded on a Latin author's now-lost account of the early Prussian Crusade. From 1331 to 1335 his chronicle was translated into Middle High German for Grand Master Luther von Braunschweig.
