Order of New Templars
Order of New Templars
German occult sect organized between 1894 and 1907 by Austrian occultist Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels (1874-1954) at Burg Werfenstein near the river Danube. The Order used the swastika symbol, advocated master-race ideals, and developed rituals from appropriation of the Holy "Grail" traditions and Parsifal. Von Liebenfels published a journal, Ostara. The Order of New Templars survived for a generation but went underground after the German invasion of Austria in 1938.
