The
Thule-Gesellschaft (
Thule Society) was founded in
1918 by
Rudolf von Sebottendorff. Its original Name was
"Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum" (Study Group for German Antiquity), but it soon started to disseminate anti-republican and
antisemitic publicity.
It was instrumental in the foundation of the
Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (German Workers Party) which later became the NSDAP (
Nazi Party).
It had members from the top echelons of the Party, including
Rudolf Hess and
Alfred Rosenberg, though not
Adolf Hitler.
Its press organ was the
Münchener Beobachter (
Munich Observer[?]) which later became the
Võlkischer Beobachter (
People's Observer[?]).
