Paul Hartig (race theorist)

Paul Hartig was a German racial theorist , writer and publisher .

Hartig worked as a savings bank employee in Jena . Völkisch - neo-pagan ideas about the Germanic religion filled him. In 1911 he founded the magazine “Nornen. Monthly magazine for German rebirth and ario-Germanic culture ”, which he published in his own Nornen publishing house in Jena. One of the authors was the Viennese ariosoph Guido von List . It later served as a newsletter for the Wodan Society . In 1909 Hartig founded the Masonic-style secret society, the Wälsungen Order , which later merged with the Teutonic Order . In 1916 he propagated the German People's League , which Jürgen von Ramin led in Berlin and transferred there to the German-Völkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund . The religious-occult associations of this time gained little influence in the NSDAP .
