This figure, representing Germania, appeared, on the outbreak of war in 1914, in many other forms produced by Fidus, as a drawing, a lithograph, an inexpensive postcard, sometimes alone, sometimes as part of a more elaborate image. In a few it was explicitly named, as in “Germania aufbebend, zürnend” (“Germania quivering with rising anger”). A version of it was used by the artist again, on the eve of the stunning triumph of the National Socialists in the Reichstag elections of September 1930, for the cover design of the first number (January- February, 1930) of a right-wing women’s magazine Frigga: Blätter für deutsches Frauentum. 1.

  • INVENTING the NORTH the Short History of a Direction
    INVENTING THE NORTH The Short History of a Direction by Bernd Brunner Sample Translation by Dr. Lori Lantz Non-Fiction/Cultural History 240 pages Publication date: September 2019 World rights with Kiepenheuer & Witsch GmbH & Co. KG Iris Brandt ( [email protected] ) Aleksandra Erakovic ( [email protected] ) 1 The sailor cannot see the North, but knows the needle can. Emily Dickinson 2 3 THE UNICORN OF THE NORTH Let’s venture a look into the cabinet of curiosities in Copenhagen belonging to Ole Worm, the royal antiquary of the Dano-Norwegian Realm. Or, more accurately, the engraving of it that a certain G. Wingendorp prepared in 1655. This image forms the frontispiece of the book Museum Wormianum, in which Worm explains the origins of many objects in his fascinating collection. With a little imagination, the viewer can identify a bird at the right-hand edge of the picture as a giant auk. According to the account in the book, it was sent to Worm from the Faroe Islands and spent the rest of its life as the antiquary’s pet. The last of these now-extinct flightless seabirds were spotted on an island off the coast of Iceland in 1844. A miniaturized polar bear appears as well, hanging from the ceiling next to a kayak. On the left side, a pair of skis and an assortment of harpoons and arrows decorate the back wall. Closer to the front, an object pieced together of oddly formed parts stands at an angle below several sets of antlers. It’s a stool made of a whale’s vertebrae.

  • Nordeuropaforum Aufsätze
    Eine im Raum verankerte Wissenschaft? Aspekte einer Geschichte der „Abteilung Germanenkunde und Skandinavistik“ der Reichsuniversität Straßburg Thomas Mohnike Zusammenfassung Die nationalsozialistische „Reichsuniversität Straßburg“ (1941–1944) hatte u. a. die Aufgabe, eine „im Raum verankerte Wissenschaft“ zu betreiben. Dies bedeutete für die Geisteswissenschaften im Allgemeinen und die Abteilung für Germanenkunde und Skandinavistik im Besonderen, die Germanisierung des Elsass historisch zu legitimie- ren und zu fördern. Der vorliegende Artikel geht der Frage nach, inwiefern sich diese Aufgabenstellung in der Geschichte der Abteilung widerspiegelt. Er analysiert dazu zunächst ihre personellen und institutionellen Strukturen; ein besonderer Schwerpunkt ist dabei die Bibliothek als wichtiger historischer Zeuge. Danach wird das Verhältnis der Skandinavisten der Reichsuniversität im Kontext zeitgenössischer Germanenideo- logien skizziert, um abschließend der Frage nach dem Nachleben der etablierten Struk- turen in der gegenwärtigen Bibliothek nachzugehen. Summary The assignment of the “Reichsuniversität Straßburg” (1941–1944), founded by the National Socialists following its annexation of Alsace, was inter alia to conduct a “sci- ence anchored in space”. For humanities in general and the “department of Germanic and Scandinavian studies” in particular that meant to historically justify and to pro- mote the germanization of Alsace. This article asks how this task is reflected in the history of the department. First its personal and institutional structures are analyzed; special focus is put on the book collection as an important historical testimony. Then, the article outlines the position of the representatives of Scandinavian studies in the context of contemporary Germanic ideologies. Finally, the question about the afterlife of the collection in the post-war period will be sketched out.

  • The Religious Attitudes of the Indo-Europeans
    The RELIGIOUS ATTITUDES of the INDO-EUROPEANS Translated from the German of PROFESSOR HANS F. K. GÜNTHER by V i v i a n B i r d in collaboration with R o g e r P e a r s o n, M.Sc. (Econ). LONDON CLAIR PRESS MCMLXVII “The nobly born must nobly meet his fate.” Euripides “Courage leads to heaven, fear to death.” Seneca “There they stood . the immortals who are the source of all our blessings.” Homer: Odyssey THE RELIGIOUS ATTITUDES OF THE INDO-EUROPEANS C O N T E N T S AUTHOR’S FOREWORD CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CHAPTER SIX CHAPTER SEVEN CHAPTER EIGHT REFERENCES INDEX FOREWORD TO THE SIXTH GERMAN EDITION I HOPE that the re-appearance of this work after almost thirty years, may help the younger generation to give more attention to the religious history of the whole of the Indo-European area, in contrast to previous generations, for a better knowledge of the Indo-European world will lead the West (to which North America belongs), towards self- realisation. Heraclitus, as Aristotle reported ( Concerning the Parts of Animals , I, 5, 645), instructed strangers visiting him, who hesitated on his threshold, to draw closer to him with the words: “Enter, for here the Gods also dwell!” May this work, in its present edition, express a similar invitation. If, in our era of the “Decline of the West”, the last remnants of the Western Indo- European peoples are submerged due to the dearth of true-blooded Nordics, then nevertheless the last few survivors will retain that same Indo-European conviction which supported and inspired the “last Romans” ( Romanorum ultimi ), who witnessed the conversion of the aristocratic Roman republic into the “de-Romanised” empire — the proud belief in inflexible and unyielding courage before destiny, which will be portrayed in this work as characteristically Indo-European, and above all Nordic — an ideal which Horace also described in the words: Quocirca vivite fortes, Fortiaque adversis opponite pectora rebus!

  • Völkische Altnordistik: the Politics of Nordic Studies in the German-Speaking Countries, 1926-45
    Völkische Altnordistik: The Politics of Nordic Studies in the German-Speaking Countries, 1926-45 Bernard Mees University of Melbourne Blaue Nacht mit lauen Wellen! Blue night with mild waves! Am Geländ’ die Juchzer gellen, In the open country, the cry of the delighted rings, Wo noch Hollas Büsche blühn. Where still Holle’s bushes bloom. Feuer leuchten durch die Tale, Fire shines through the valleys, Wie Balders Grabesmale, Like Balder’s monuments, Und des Rades Funken glühn. And from the wheel sparks glow. Laßt die Sonnenrune funkeln, Let the sun-rune spark, Hakenkreuz erstrahl’ im Dunkeln, Swastika radiant in the dark, Sei gegrüßt, erhabner Phol! Be welcome, exalted Phol! Tausend Bauta-Steine reden, A thousand Bauta-stones counsel, Druiden-Weisheit, Edda, Veden, Druidic wisdom, Edda, Vedas, Von dir, ewigem ‘Symbol’! From you, eternal ‘symbol’! 316 11th International Saga Conference 317 So reads an anonymous völkisch poem of 1899 glorifying the swastika, known from an Old Norse source as the sólarhvel (‘sun-wheel’).1 Drawing on a smorgasbord of references to German, Norse and other Indo-European traditions, it appeared in Heimdall (1897-1918), one of a number of political journals of Wilhelmine times with names evoking a Nordic connection, also including Odin (1899-1901), Hammer (1901-1913, 33), Runen (1918-29) and the Werdandi-Jahrbücher (c. 1913). All of the groups that published these journals had one trait in common apart from an interest in pagan Nordic antiquity: they were all devotees of a new movement of the political far right that had been christened by its proponents as völkisch.

  • Gender and Sexuality
    chapter 7 Gender and Sexuality Together with deep ecology and bio-regionalism, eco-feminism is considered one of the strands of the ecology movement with the most prominent spiritual elements. Closely connected with feminist or women-centered varieties of Neopaganism, eco-feminism takes women’s alleged proximity to nature and its cycles as its logical basis. The hope is that a spiritual approach of cooperation between (wo)man and nature will replace dominance and exploitation. Traditionally, alternative religions and spiritual movements, especially theoso- phy (which inspired many strands of Neopaganism), have provided opportuni- ties for women to rise into influential positions. The opposite is the case for Germanic Faith in the early 20th century, as well as for contemporary Asatru. Whereas the former shared the outspoken masculinism of the völkisch movement and centered on warrior heroism, the latter, especially the North American Asatru revival in the 1970s, was initially borne out of an enthusiasm for the figure of the Viking, the male warrior, adventurer, and conqueror, and his war-gods Thor, Odin, and Tyr. Imagery of male physical power and violence still forms the external perception of Asatru and is reflected in the gender ratio of most groups, most commonly 60–70% men.1 Nevertheless, women have been active in Germanic Neopaganism all along. By forging links to other, more women-centered varieties of earth and goddess spirituality and Neopaganism, such as Wicca, which puts an emphasis on female deities and priestesses, they have contributed to popular images of Asatru and its gods and goddesses. As we have seen in the previous chapter, disillusionment with a destructive attitude toward the natural environment and human nature alike is a strong motivation to turn away from mainstream Christianity and search for alterna- tive religious models.

Höfler’s research has also found resonance, though, in facets of modern popular culture.
