Adolf Schleipfer (born 1947^{[citation needed]}) is a German/Austrian occultist and Armanist who re-established the Guido von List Society and Armanen-Orden in 1967 and 1976, respectfully. ^[1]

Schleipfer re-published all of Guido von List's works (and many other Armanen runes related works) in their original German.

Schleipfer contributed an article to the book The Secret King entitled "The Wiligut Saga" [2] pointing out the differences between Wiligut's beliefs and those of Odinism or Armanism.

He re-established the Guido-von-List-Society in 1967. In 1976 with his then wife, Sigrun Schleipfer they founded the Armanen-Orden

Schleipfer published the runic magazine Irminsul [3] in hopes of attracting suitable people for a revived Listian order.

He married Sigrun Hammerbacher, now referring to herself as "Sigrun Freifrau von Schlichting" or "Sigrun von Schlichting", daughter of Völkisch writer Hans Wilhelm Hammerbacher [4]). He met her at meetings of a related organisation , the Gode-Orden (Gothi-Order), which proagated a similar mixture of occult "Völkisch" thinking.

In 1977 she founded the Gemeinschaft zur Erhaltung der Burgen ("Society for the Conservation of Castles"), which proclaims castles to be among the "last paradises of the romantic era" in this cold modern age and had as its primary aim the purchase and restoration of a castle for the Order. In July 1995, the society finally acquired the castle of Rothenhorn in Szlichtyngowa (Poland), a run-down structure dating back to the 12th century, though most of the complex dates from the 16th century.

Since 1976 Schleipfer and his wife have served as the Grandmasters of the order. He also revived the High Armanen Order (HAO).
