Neo-Templarism
Children
The right-wing extremist and anti-Semite Nivard Schlögl trained and radicalized Lanz. Lanz had left the Cistercian order shortly before and tied the naming of his own order to the medieval Templar Order. His interest in the Templars was awakened by the contemporary popular motif of the Knights of the Grail in the neo-romantic music and literature of Richard Wagner, Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer, and Friedrich Lienhard. In addition, the Templars were closely connected with the Cistercians, Bernhard von Clairvaux, the founder of the Cistercian order, had also written the monastic rules of the Templars and later praised them for their use in the crusades.
