Wilhelm Teudt (7 December 1860 in Bergkirchen – 5 January 1942 in Detmold) was a German cleric and völkisch lay archaeologist who believed in an ancient, highly developed Germanic civilization. His 1929 work ''Germanische Heiligtümer'' was rejected by experts even at the time of publication, but continues to have some influence in esoteric and neopagan circles in Germany. ==Life and career== Teudt was born on 7 December 1860 in Bergkirchen, Schaumburg-Lippe as the son of a Protestant priest. He studied theology and philosophy at the universities of Berlin, Leipzig, Tübingen and Bonn. He was ordained in 1885 and was a pastor in Probsthagen and Stadthagen. In 1894/95, he succeeded Friedrich Naumann as the head of the Inner mission at Frankfurt. In 1907, Teudt co-founded the ' (a group fighting the ideas of Charles Darwin) before renouncing his status as a priest in 1909. Teudt volunteered for military service and served in World War I from 1915-18.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Symbolische Aberkennung der Ehrenbürgerschaft(German) )〕 In 1921, due to the Occupation of the Ruhr by French and Belgian troops he moved to Detmold. That same year he founded the ''Cheruskerbund - Heimatbund für Lippe'', which in 1924 was incorporated into the ''Stahlhelm''. Teudt joined the German National People's Party (DNVP). He likely joined the ' in 1924 and in 1925 supported the ''Nationalsozialistische Freiheitsbewegung Deutschlands''. In 1928/29, he became ''Gauherr'' or ''Deutschmeister'' of the ''Deutschbund'' in Detmold. Teudt founded the ''Vereinigung der Freunde germanischer Vorgeschichte'' in 1928 and in 1929 published the book ''Germanische Heiligtümer''. Though his ideas overlapped with those of Hermann Wirth and Wirth published some articles in Teudt's monthly ''Germanien'', after the Nazi takeover of power the two became competitors.〔〔 Teudt joined the NSDAP at some point before 1935. In 1936, his organization (''Freunde'') participated in the ''Pflegstätte für Germanenkunde'' at Detmold set up by the Ahnenerbe. In 1935, on his 75th birthday he was awarded a professorship by Adolf Hitler, apparently on the suggestion of Heinrich Himmler. In 1936, he became an honorary citizen of the city of Detmold.〔〔 He joined Ahnenerbe in 1936, but was forced to leave in 1938 because of a falling-out with Himmler, who described Teudt as "unobjective and pathologically quarrelsome". Thus his work at the ''Pflegstätte'' ended in 1938. In 1939, Teudt founded the ''Osningmark-Gesellschaft'', renamed after his death to ''Wilhelm-Teudt-Gesellschaft''. The year after, Teudt was awarded the ''Goethemedaille für Kunst und Wissenschaft'' on the request of ''Gauleiter'' Alfred Meyer.〔〔 Teudt died on 5 January 1942 in Detmold and is buried there. A street was named after him until 1969. In 2010, the city posthumously revoked his status as honorary citizen.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilhelm Teudt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
