A series of holy wars called to reclaim Jerusalem supposedly for God but actually for money and land.
Large groups of Catholics went to Jerusalem several times from about 1071 AD to about 1291 AD in Crusades to reclaim Jerusalem and the Holy Lands from the Moslems supposedly in the name of Christianity. They, by and large, failed.

At that time the German lands were still the Holy Roman Empire. However, some parts of Prussia and the Austrian Empire were to the east of the HRE.

The political rulers of England and France called Christians to travel to the Holy lands in the Middle East. However, it was not to fight the enemies of the church because the holy lands were under control of Muslims and Muslims were not enemies of the church. It was the opposite. There were very good relations between Muslim leaders and Christian leaders. the holy lands were not only for Christians but also for Muslims. The full rights were secured for all Christians to practice their worships with no limitations. The fights against Muslims in the Middle East at that time, which was known as the Crusaders wars, were for political reasons and never were for religious reasons.
It is simply a Holy Meeting/Gathering.
