The ''Nordische Gesellschaft'' ("Nordic Society") was an association founded in 1921, with the objective of strengthening German-Nordic cultural and political cooperation. It was based in Lübeck, Germany. The association had both German and Scandinavian members. After the National Socialist take-over in Germany 1933 ''Nordische Gesellschaft'' came under the control of Alfred Rosenberg. A new board was formed. Rosenberg's ambition was that the organization could be utilized for the National Socialist cause. Heinrich Himmler became a member of the board.〔Greger, Andersson/Geisler, Ursula. ''(Myt och propaganda - Musiken i nazismens tjänst i Sverige och Tyskland )''. Forum för Levande Historia, 2007.〕 As of 1940, the association had 40 local branches in different parts of Germany. The association published a notable amount of books and brochures which were distributed in Scandinavia.〔''Statens Offentliga Utredningar 1946:86.

Initially known as ''Der Nordische Aufseher'', it got the name ''Der Norden'' in 1935.〔 It dealt mainly with Nordic issues and actively tried to foster a concept of a common Baltic Sea historical and cultural heritage, based on the legacy of the Hanseatic league. The publication presented the Hanseatic period as a golden era of the region. Several Scandinavian writers had their articles published in ''Der Norden''. ''Der Norden'' had a monthly edition of around 6-7000. It is assumed that the last issue was published in October 1944.〔''Statens Offentliga Utredningar 1946:86.
