Explanation:
Die Augustiner-Chorherren sind ein Zusammenschluss mehrerer katholischer Männerorden, die nach der Regel des heiligen Augustinus leben. Sie sind in der Mehrzahl Priester, die das feierliche Stundengebet pflegen und zugleich in der Seelsorge tätig sind. Die Augustiner-Chorherren gehören zu den Regularkanonikern.

The Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, comonly called the Augustinian Canons, or Austin Canons (Austin being a corruption of 'Augustinian'), are one of the oldest and most prestigious Latin Rite orders, and they live together as a community and take the three vows of common property, chastity and obedience. Famous Augustinian Canons include the only English Pope Adrian IV[1], mystic Thomas à Kempis and Christian humanist Desiderius Erasmus.
