| Summary: | The idea of people and nation gets an idealistic and irrationalistic dimension since German romantic period. During the last years of the 19th century the glorified and sanctified meaning of people and nation was connected with the pattern of organism and brought up the idea of a religion true to type, what means a Germanisation of religion or its clining of all influences of alien blood. The article describes four typical representatives of such religiosity and their theory: Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels and his Ariosophy, Arthur Bonus and his Aryan, better non-Jewish Christianity, Arthur Dinter and the Geistchristentum (Spiritual Christianity), Paul Krannhals and the Organic World Views (Weltanschauung). A few other groups and their leaders representing similar doctrines are dealt with briefly up to Rosenbergs »Myth of the 20th Century«. All these religious intentions built a fertile humus for later National Socialists ideas including its religious implications. |
