Willfried
Brauseberger Von Schwautz
One of the less known names of the 3rd Reich,
but maybe the most influential SS occultist of his time. Von
Schwautz's mystical designs were nearly all rejected by SS chief
Heinrich Himmler, but were essential to the Nazi aesthetics.
"The symbols of Schwautz are too complicated for our purpose.
Even if the Black Web would do fine in Wewelsburg - it
is too original, too decadent in a way. And what will happen,
if the German people discover it is all based on the skeleton
of a fish..." (taken from Himmlers personal diary).
And this is true : All symbols are born out of the structure
of an ancient starfish skeleton. In the end it was his own student,
the Austrian mystic Karl Maria Wiligut, who pleased Himmlers
ideas most. Schwautz's theories were far too abstract to illustrate
the ideals of the 3rd Reich.
