Zornhau is a unique technology in Age of Empires IV: The Sultans Ascend available to the Order of the Dragon that can be researched at the Meinwerk Palace landmark starting in the Castle Age. It grants Gilded Landsknechts a bleed effect on their melee attack that causes 2 damage per second for 10 seconds. It also replaces the standard Zweihander on the unit model with a gilded halberd weapon. Since it is unique to the Meinwerk Palace, it cannot be researched if advancing to the Feudal Age with the Aachen Chapel.
