Another attempt to breach the walls fails on December 31.

Because Saladin can neither enter the city of Acre nor dislodge the crusaders, by winter of 1190-91 neither side has made progress, but the crusaders have suffered serious losses from disease and famine.

At this time, some German merchants from Bremen and Lübeck, seeking to serve a hospital during the siege, form a fraternity to nurse the sick here.

It will become the Brothers of the Hospital of Saint Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem: the Teutonic Knights.
