Mathilde Ludendorff is back. In Weilheim (Bavaria) it has re-established its old "Bund für deutsche Gotteswissen" under the new name "Bund für Gotteswissen". In a circular, the Society announces the reappearance of its works, in which a Tannenberg religion is propagated on a racial basis. Ms. Ludendorff asks readers for affidavits in which her former work as a writer is to be stamped as "strong counter-work against National Socialist and anti-Semitic agitation." Mathilde Ludendorff wants to rehabilitate herself for the "League for the Knowledge of God".

Mathilde Ludendorff, 77, widow of the World War I general, took part in a commemoration ceremony held on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday in Tutzing (Upper Bavaria) in pouring rain at the grave of Erich Ludendorff, which was attended by about a thousand supporters of the Ludendorff movement.
At the holy source of German power
Julius Herf, 1st Public Prosecutor at the Prosecutor General of the Bavarian Special Ministry, has gone on vacation. The clerk for "Major Denazification Cases" has completed his collection of material in the Dr. Mathilde Ludendorff case. He has collected with all care. He had piled up all the books, writings and tracts of the creator of the "German Knowledge of God" on the shelf next to his desk. I was really frightened by that sea-serpent of books." But he did read them. The holiday is well deserved.
As early as 1946, the Ludendorff and Mathilde files adorned the table of the Starnberg Tribunal. She was in charge. At that time, however, no one dared to undertake the difficult study of her works. Neither did the plaintiff. He was a coal merchant by trade. When Alfred Loritz became Bavaria's special minister, his nose sniffed in between. That's how the case ended up with Herf.
He is known as a sharp dog. In the case of Ludendorff, Herf completely ignores "so-called philosophy." He is only interested in their polemics. He made long excerpts of this. The God-knowledge lawyer Victor Leysieffer, a Munich resident from the penetrating Saxon town of Wurzen, receives it for comment. If he has taken, the lawsuit can finally be filed. This may take months.
Then Herf wants to convict Mathilde Ludendorff in her own words. He doesn't want to hear experts at all. Not even Winfried Martini, who has advertised himself as Ludendorff's specialist publicist. So far, Herf has not even opened Martini's book »The Legend of the House of Ludendorff«*). But he expects it to be an amusing holiday read.
Legend of the House of Ludendorff. The aspirant is also on vacation. Close to nature, as it is, in the middle of the Bavarian Vor-Karwendel, in a mountain cottage, 15 minutes above Klais near Mittenwald. As in the old days, when Erich Ludendorff (known to her only as "Feldherr") still strolled briskly by her side, she rises at 6 o'clock in the morning. She walks for hours on lonely paths. And even longer when it goes to the Soiernspitze (2258 meters). That's the height she needs.
Dressed in a blouse of vague white-like color and a crushed blue skirt that features four different types of buttons, the seventy-one-year-old trudges across the green mats with her boots for the working mountain population. And if a brook murmurs somewhere, it is like "at the holy source of German power" (the Ludendorffs write the adjective German basically völkisch modestly large). This was the title of Ludendorff's semi-monthly magazine, in which the couple spoke to their more than 100000,40 followers. For <> pfennigs per issue, even cheaper by subscription.
There was then in a single number:
Again: "The German Warfare of 1917" by General Ludendorff.
"Responsibility". By Dr. Mathilde Ludendorff.
*) Winfried Martini: »Die Legende vom Haus Ludendorff«, Inngau-Verlag Leonhard Lang, Rosenheim, 2.80 DM. »Mathilde Ludendorff, ihr Werk und Wesen« von General Ludendorff.
»War and yet no war« by General Ludendorff.
"Communications from the Commander."
Umschau: The lie of the two-thousand-year reign of Christianity.
In addition, there is an intaglio supplement »The Commander and His Wife« and a picture page »Degenerate Art«.
The holy spring of the couple splashed harmoniously and profitably. The scribe roles were well distributed. Then Mathilde proclaimed her teaching: "The knowledge of God must be accessible to everyone, even to the gooseherd on the Rain. It would be a bad thing if the study of philosophical works were necessary for this."
A few lines later, the gooseherd on the Rain was allowed to inhale a core sentence of philosophy: "In strict discipline to the moral law as the basic requirement of the preservation of the world and the preservation of peoples of human beings, and in holy voluntariness to be good, carried by the high responsibility to transform oneself to perfection, enabled to experience the divine consciousness, every single human being stands for several decades as a unique and never returning individual being in this mighty Kosmos, in order to secure the preservation of God in himself and in the people through all his actions and all his thoughts and feelings and all his works. Since his life has thus been allowed to be a breath of God, he slumbers forever into unconsciousness."
Erich Ludendorff was fond of exposing the "supranational powers" (Jews, Jesuits and Freemasons in the leading roles). From the old Germanic tribes to the young National Socialists, they were to blame for all evil in the world. In particular, the end of the First World War (in which the general played a shady role) could only be traced back to the conspiracy of the supranational powers, according to Ludendorff's version of the stab-in-the-back legend. Commanders don't like to lose.
But Erich Ludendorff also lost to the Nazis. After the bloody march to the Feldherrnhalle, Ludendorff, who had been acquitted, hoped for the Führer's laurels in the NSDAP. But Hitler came back from Landsberg too soon. In 1925, the ambitious general was allowed to run for president of the Reich and against his World War chief Hindenburg, but he failed miserably with just under 300000,<> votes and then stood cold. With him, Mathilde withdrew from the Nazi movement. He had just married her.
According to the official version, he became acquainted with them through Gottfried Feder, the author of the Nazi party program. Unofficial version: Mathilde was a neurologist at the bedside of Ludendorff's first wife, Margarete.
Immortality. In any case, they could use each other. Mathilde Spieß had studied medicine in Freiburg. When she had heard from Professor Weissmann in a college about the "potential immortality of single-celled organisms" and the "death compulsion," she ran into the forest and thought. As an assistant to the Munich psychiatrist Kraepelin, she then looked at the laws of the human soul. This is how she came to a folkish religion of her own, which combined "intuitive vision with natural science."
In between, she married twice, including one from Kemnitz. Her sons Hanno and Asko von Kemnitz and her daughter Ingeborg's husband, Franz Freiherr Karg von Bebenburg, joined their mother's forest and meadow studies at an early age. Thus, the "German Knowledge of God" became a self-sufficient clan operation. When Ludendorff joined, it was a völkisch march.
But the House of Ludendorff was downright at odds with Hitler, despite the fact that they had such kindred spirits. Hitler became too lukewarm for the couple in the fundamentals of their world view. In two pamphlets, Erich Ludendorff attacked Hitler for having ceased the fight against the Jewish people. The NSDAP had become the most faithful part of the supranational organization of the Roman Church.
Hitler's personal philosopher, Rosenberg, had to poison back. In the summer of 1933, "Ludendorff's Observatory" was banned. This is one of the main arguments of Ludendorff's disciples today: the general and the philosopher had warned in more than 120 publications against Hitler's seizure of power, Hitler's methods of violence and his war plans. That is why they were persecuted in 1933.
But already in the same year the holy spring bubbled. And in March 1937, the Fuehrer and the commander were publicly reconciled. In December 1937, Hitler stood with a state wreath at the coffin of the retired general. In 1939, however, Hitler had the Tutzing widow, whom he could not stand, block the paper for her publishing house. "One of the few benefits Hitler did to the German people," said Winfried Martini.
When Erich had not yet fallen asleep to eternal unconsciousness, he showed himself to be the best interpreter of his combative companion. With manly temperament, he swung the torch of fame around her light-blond hair: "... the uniform basis of Mathilde Ludendorff's work, her astonishing power of thought, her pronounced psychic ability to discern, her inexorable will to truth, her own life-full language of the racial hereditary material from the subconscious, and her superconscious vision of the God-awake ego of her soul, which enables her to gain insights from the location of the essence of all phenomena." Or recognized it as "the greatest revolutionary in the history of the world, who causes an old world to collapse and achieves a turning point in the world through his knowledge."
Heir of the general. On Sedan Day 1928, the retired Quartermaster General wanted to unveil a monument to his Fusilier Regiment 39 in Düsseldorf. He was quite guileless. "But my wife saw through the cunning of our opponents with uncommon sagacity." He had pictures of the monument brought to him. It was the "greatest mockery of the heroic German soldier in the depiction of the monument in disgusting blanks." How happy the supranational powers would have been if Ludendorff had unveiled such a monument. But: "It was not easy for the supranational powers to fight against my wife's prudence."
Mathilde Ludendorff often returned the favor. At his death: "The great noble inheritance of the general will be the highest good of all Germans today and in the future."
With the title "Spotlights Shine", the "Holy Spring" had an entertainment supplement. In almost every number there was a ritual murder story. In addition, titles such as "Sun Study Act", "Kingicide by Freemasonry", "The Miracle in the Church Tower", "Experiences with the Supranationals in Ireland", "A Priest Warns Against Priests". The section "Heathen Laughter" featured jokes and jokes about monasteries and parishes.
More entertaining was the display part of the "Spotlight". Hanno von Kemnitz was in charge: "Friends of conviction buy floor wax, white and yellow, kg 95 Rpf., in buckets, from Max Gräfe, Oberlichtenau via Radeberg-Saxony", or "Free Germans recognise the effect of alcohol. Drink non-alcoholic grape juice. Fruit juice press Loos, Gentersblum on the Rhine.« The Ludendorff believers stuck closely together and protected each other. The publisher issued free references: "Where do I buy as a free German?"
From the "Sippenanzeigen" it was learned that Johannes Petersen and Mrs. Inge from Husum had married in Germany on 25 Lenzing 1938. And one by one, the German boys Sieghard, Otger, Gunter were born. Or a "self-employed master cabinetmaker with a predominantly Nordic style, long-standing struggle for the German knowledge of God, was looking for an exchange of ideas with a German girl of a similar species. Letter under Nibelungen fidelity 411 to the publisher." The reduced bust of the general by Professor Manzel, "bronze-tinted, with pedestal, 26 cm high", was advertised for 50 RM.
Today, the "Holy Spring" and the "Spotlight" stand on the shelves of those who know the gods behind Heine's works. Of their sworn mistress, they put on the table only the "philosophical" books: "Woman and Her Destiny," "The Recovery of Minne," "Triumph of the Will to Immortalize," and the six volumes on the soul.
She herself feels ostracized by the Nazi era. With her shining eyes of Friedrichder Große, she confesses: "In those years I absolutely had to write my books over 400 pages long. The Gestapo did not read such thick books; otherwise I should have felt bad!" She confided to a Swiss correspondent: "Hitler did not dare to take action against the Jews until after my husband's death!"
Only 50 pages long was the volume of Ludendorff's "A Look into the Moral Teaching of the Catholic Church". In September 1937 it already had a circulation of 104000,25. Anyone expecting delicate descriptions fell for the title of her 1937-pfennig pamphlet, "Christian Cruelty to German Women." 82000 <> copies. Her publishing house published a series of "revelation books" that dealt with the Bible and the church. In Mathilde's eyes, Christianity was the propaganda doctrine for Jewish world domination.
In 1939, after the pogroms against the Jews, she wrote: "It is an underestimation of the Jew and, above all, of his fighting troops when an infinite number of people today believe that the Jewish question is now settled."
In addition, there were perversely cheap caricatures, such as how the German Sword Siegfried fights against the Hydra Rome with its snare arms, celibacy, perjury, fornication, paragraph 175.
Mathilde has forgiven herself for all this. In 1945 she started anew. Her son-in-law, Karg von Bebenburg, sent "replies to our friends." Mathilde herself traveled to West Germany to lecture, accompanied by the enthusiasm of her followers.
No official spoke out against the movement. Even the church said nothing against Tutzinger's discord.
Ludendorff has only one man to blame for the difficulties she is making today. She hates Winfried Martini because of it. He has too good a memory. During the Nazi era, he once stood at a Ludendorff bookstore. Two Holy Springs drinkers railed against the Nazis. Why? They were far too lame in the extermination of the Jews.
A rod to the fool. After the war, Martini ploughed through the new doctrine of salvation thoroughly. In many articles, he unrestrainedly dissected the fog surrounding the works of the Ludendorffs. That's when the Nebelspalter noticed a few things. He noticed, in dozens of errors, that the "philosopher" had no idea of the Hebrew language, although she was constantly studying it.
Martini, a semitologist who had been keenly interested since his high school days, was fluent in Hebrew. When the lawyer for the knowledge of God, Victor Leysieffer, once wrote him an angry letter in response to his article ("Your arrogance exaggerated to the grotesque", "downright laughable ignorance"), Martini reciprocated: "So I would like to illustrate to your client the motives of my struggle against her in the language she is obviously so familiar with, on the basis of a quotation from the Old Testament. I omit the Masoretic punctuation, as is customary in intercourse between literate Hebrewists, which, after all, was created only for people who are less proficient in Hebrew than your cultural client." And then followed a line of cursive Hebrew from Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 26, verse 3.
Martini imagined with delight how the anti-Semites around Mathilde had to have the saying translated by an East German rabbi. It reads: "A scourge on a horse, a bridle on an ass, and a rod on a fool's back."
Hebrew is the language of the day at the Martini country house in the middle of the Rosenheim region. The natives of Endorf glaze when the newcomer Martini, mottled hair over a sharply cut profile, chases a dog-like four-legged friend across the meadow with Hebrew commands. Nelly, a cunning degenerate of the Rehpinscher breed, born without a tail, can speak more Hebrew than Mathilde Ludendorff. Winfried Martini is pleased about this.
His wife, Barbara, is also not on good terms with the general's widow. For three months she had to make extracts from Mathilde's works for her husband. She often got into the wrong line without realizing it right away. Nevertheless, Barbara did not learn Ludendorff's jargon without some pleasure: "He disguised his will" - "I became realized" - "I absorbed into myself" (in German: I read).
Martini mixed the excerpts with the expert opinion he made at the request of the Chamber of Appeals to form the "Legends" book. It came just in time. However, he did not report this: One day, two women with beaming eyes stood in front of the door. They implored him to abandon his fight against "our Mrs. Ludendorff": "Look out of the window! They should use their divinely gifted skills to describe the glorious divine nature of the Chiemgau, instead of hurting a mother like Mrs. Ludendorff."
The two women came straight from the big celebration of Mathilde's 70th birthday. 400 people from all parts of Germany had gathered in the garden of their home in Tutzingen. They were talked to. She was talking, and the door of the general's room on the ground floor, which was usually locked, was wide open. Reverently, as in a museum, believers looked at the relics of the general.
The trial chamber had sent an observer. When everyone had shaken hands with the seventy-year-old, he also came to thank her. No wonder, because Mathilde's son Asko von Kemnitz was the chief of the court of Pfaffenhofen on the other side of Lake Starnberg. He did a good job.
Mathilde Ludendorff has undergone a psychiatric examination. Martini insisted. In the same clinic where she worked as a gifted resident, she was suspected on an outpatient basis. But nothing unnatural was found in her head. She is very proud of it. No, it's healthy. She is fully sane.
