This book sheds light onto the background and impact of these myths for the first time. \u003cbr\u003eDuring the Nazi era, this Westphalian castle became a key venue for gatherings of high ranking SS leaders. After World War II, rumors about occult SS rituals made the place a pilgrimage site of the extreme right. The northern tower's ornamental sun wheel design, today known as the \"Black Sun,\" appears in thrillers, comic books, and in the right-wing music scene. It has morphed into a dubious visual element of today's pop culture and is now familiar to people throughout the world as a symbol of neofascist and alt-right groups. The lavishly illustrated volume traces facts and fiction about the origins and current reception of the myths related to Wewelsburg Castle and the sun wheel symbol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKirsten John-Stucke is a Historian and the Director of the Kreismuseum Wewelsburg. \u003cbr\u003eDaniela Siepe has worked as a Research Associate for the revision of the Memorial Museum of Kreismuseum Wewelsburg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 337\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48343152197853,"sku":"9783506792006","price":90.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/HswvqrhKXt9783506792006_23f742d0-aea8-481e-8185-d9085862b4f3.webp?v=1786061714","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/myths-of-wewelsburg-castle-facts-and-fiction-hardcover-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
