Artgemeinschaft
The Artgemeinschaft Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft (AG GGG) is a German Neopagan and Neo-Nazi organization[1] founded in 1951 by Wilhelm Kusserow, a former member of the SS. In 1983 it merged with the Nordungen (founded 1924).
One of the basic tenets of Artgemeinschaft (loosely translated as "racial community") is the Artglaube ("racial belief").
Artgemeinschaft mixes far-right ideology with Nordic and Teutonic religions such as Ásatrú but also atheism.[2] In the 1960s some theosophic and so called ariosophic aspects were added.
The weltanschauung is xenophobic and antisemitic.[2]
In contrast to other pagan organisations neither Guido von List nor Lanz von Liebenfels plays any role.[3]
Important in their beliefs are theses by Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Eduard v. Hartmann and Feuerbach in order to attack Christian moral and to replace it with a pagan one. According to Fromm, belief in Gods is not an important momentum for the Artgemeinschaft.[4]
The AG GGG publishes the völkisch Nordische Zeitung.
