Otto Reuter
Otto Sigfrid Reuter (2 September 1876 – 5 April 1945) was a German writer and organiser who was central in the neopagan current within the völkisch movement. He had a career in telecommunications and began his völkisch-religious activities with the 1910 pamphlet Sigfrid oder Christus?! He founded some of the earliest organisations for Germanic neopaganism, which adhered to the racial ideologies of the völkisch movement. Reuter promoted a decentralised version of pagan practice without priests, in contrast to the hierarchically structured Germanic Faith Community of Ludwig Fahrenkrog. Reuter's theories have been described as parascientific. His major theoretical work Germanische Himmelskunde (1934) is about the Germanic star map.
