TheThule-Seminar is afar-right nationalist organization with strongNeopaganist roots[1] based inKassel,Germany. It was founded in 1980 byPierre Krebs,[2] essentially as the German branch ofGRECE.[3] Sometimes described as athink tank or "party of the mind", its name alludes to theThule Society,[4][5] one of the organizations that facilitated the rise of theNazis[6] and provided some of the intellectual cadre for the latter.[2]
It describes itself as a "research society for Indo-European culture". On its homepage, it deplores the formation of a "multiracial, i.e. monoprimitive" society in the "ethnosuicidal" cultures of Europe and declares its aim to be the formation of "metapolitical" ("metapo") cells across Europe. As emblems, it uses theBlack Sun, as well as thecombinedTiwaz rune andSig rune.
Its ideology has been described as based on theConservative revolution and including elements ofanti-Americanism,anti-Zionism and being close toapartheid.[5]
The first major publication of the Seminar wasDas unvergängliche Erbe. Alternativen zum Prinzip der Gleichheit (translation: "The Everlasting Heritage: Alternatives to the Principle of Equality"), edited by Krebs and published in 1981 byGrabert Verlag; notably, the preface of this volume was written byHans Jürgen Eysenck.[7] It turned out to be the "programmatic" book of the Seminar.[8] The Thule-Seminar publishes a journal calledElemente and another one calledMetapo.[5]
The outlet for GRECE ideas in German is the Thule Seminar, a great nephew of the Thule Society which had such a formative influence on the infant (NS)DAP.
Die erste größere Veröffentlichung des "Seminars" war der mittlerweile zum neurechten Standardwerk avancierte Sammelband "Das unvergängliche Erbe. Alternativen zum Prinzip der Gleichheit", der von Pierre Krebs 1981 herausgegeben wurde. Bezeichnenderweise schrieb Hans- Jürgen Eysenck hierzu das Vorwort.
