Artgemeinschaft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Artgemeinschaft Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft (AG GGG) is a German Neopagan organization, founded in 1951 by Wilhelm Kusserow. In 1983 it merged with the Nordungen (founded 1924). The current chairman is Jürgen Rieger. ^{[citation needed]}

One of the basic tenets of Artgemeinschaft (loosely translated as "racial community") is the Artglaube ("racial belief"). Artgemeinschaft fosters the belief in Nordic and Teutonic religions such as Ásatrú. Membership of the Artgemeinschaft is limited to people of "Nordic-Faelic" ancestry. ^{[citation needed]}

The AG GGG used to consider itself the successor of Ludwig Fahrenkrog's Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft, ^{[citation needed]} but after reactivation of the latter in 1991, and a 1993 court decision, this claim was rejected. ^{[citation needed]}

The AG GGG publishes the white supremacist / völkisch Nordische Zeitung. ^{[citation needed]}

The IDGR lists the Artgemeinschaft as racist and influenced by Nazi "Ariosophy" ^{[citation needed]}
