Thule Society

(Thule-Gesellschaft)
Founded: 1918, Berlin
Dissolved: mid-1920s

The Thule Society, originally the Study Group for Germanic Antiquity (Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum), was a German occultist and völkisch group in Munich, named after a mythical northern country from Greek legend. The Society is notable chiefly as the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP), which was later transformed by Adolf Hitler into the Nazi Party. However, there is no evidence that Hitler had ever attended the Thule Society before the DAP's transformation into the Nazi Party.
