This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Flag of the Order of New Templars.svg|thumb|Flag of the Order of New Templars.]]
The '''Order of the New Templars''' – ''Ordo Novi Templi'' was a [[Proto-fascism|proto-fascist]] [[secret society]] in Germany founded by Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels (the [[code name]] of [[Fascism|Fascist]] agitator [[Adolf Joseph Lanz]]) in 1900.<ref name=":0">((Citation |last=Hieronymus |first=Ekkehard |title=Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/9783110964240.131 |work=Handbuch zur "Völkischen Bewegung" 1871-1918 |year=1996 |place=Berlin, Boston |publisher=De Gruyter Saur |doi=10.1515/9783110964240.131 |isbn=9783110964240 |access-date=2022-04-29))</ref> Lanz used this order to spread his ideas, which he initially referred to as "theozoology" or "Ario-Christianity" and from 1915 as "[[Ariosophy]]". The order combined [[esoteric]] [[piety]] with concepts of [[racial theory|racial "science"]] and [[eugenics]], which were modern at the time. It was modelled after the [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[Military order (religious society)|military order]] of the [[Knights Templar]] and was similar in its hierarchical structure to the [[Order of Cistercians]] which had trained the New Templars founder, Adolf Lanz.

Lanz's goal was to bring right-wing extremists in post-[[World War I]] Germany together and mobilise them in opposition to liberal society.  Members used code names to hinder any chance of betrayals.<ref name=":0" /> The order would later provide support to the rise of [[Nazism]].
[[File:Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels.jpg|thumb|Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels ([[code name]] of the fascist agitator [[Adolf Joseph Lanz]]).]]
Lanz was the ideologist and political agitator of the group, justifying violence by punishments such as [[castration]] in order to establish Fascism in Germany and defend it against [[communism]].<ref name=":0" /> Lanz intended the organization to put an end to the [[racial conflict]] between the supposedly higher-bred "master class" and lower-bred "animal people"<ref name=daim>((cite book |author=Wilfried Daim |title=The man who gave Hitler the ideas |publisher=Carl Ueberreuter Verlag |pages=140 |year=1994 |editor=Vma-Vertriebsgesellschaft |location=Wiesbaden |isbn=978-3-928127-73-8))</ref> and to enforce it by force "up to the [[castration|castration knife]]" (Lanz).((r|daim|p=41)) Lanz's ideas should allow the upper class and [[imperialism|imperialist]] groups to justify "any exploitation".((r|daim|p=156)) Specifically, "the enslavement" of the population was to be reintroduced and this rule by "the emasculation" of be enforced by those who think differently. Women should be called "slaves"((r|daim|p=42)) and "breeding mothers"((r|daim|p=282)) serve.

The right-wing extremist and anti-Semite [[:de:Nivard Schlögl|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 [[crusade]]s.

Around the time of his order's founding, Lanz developed into a determined racist, who saw in the [[Aryans]] as the supreme race, which since time immemorial has been in a defensive struggle against lower races.<ref>Goodrick -Clarke 2006, p. 91.</ref> Against this background, he conceived the idea that the Templars had the goal of establishing an Aryan empire across the entire [[Mediterranean area]]. He interpreted the persecution of the Templars from 1312 as a triumph of racially inferior people whose aim was to undermine the rule and purity of the Aryan race. In addition, he was convinced that the [[Catholic Church]] had been suppressing true Christian teaching since that time, as the core of which he regarded his ideas of a racial struggle. He therefore saw his own order as a new beginning of the crusade against lower races that had been interrupted for centuries.<ref>((cite book |author=Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke |title=Ariosophy |editor=Wouter J. Hanegraaff |work=Dictionary of Gnosis and Western Esotericism |location=Leiden |year=2006 |language=en |pages=91–97))</ref>

In 1907 Lanz acquired the ruins of the small [[:de:Burg Werfenstein|Werfenstein Castle]] near [[Grein, Austria|Grein]] in [[Upper Austria]] as the [[priory]] of the Order. In the same year he published a program of the Order, in which he described it as an association of Aryans whose aims were to promote racial consciousness through [[genealogy|genealogical]] and [[heraldry|heraldic]] research, [[beauty pageant]]s, and to promote the establishment of racially exemplary states in underdeveloped regions of the world. For the order he developed his own [[liturgy]] and ceremonies. The rules of the order stipulated that only blonde and blue-eyed men were allowed to join, who also had to meet other Aryan criteria, which Lanz described in his series of publications ''[[Ostara (magazine)|Ostara]]''. A hierarchy was established within the order based on (supposed) racial purity. On Christmas Day 1907, Lanz hoisted two flags on the tower of his Order's headquarters: one with the coat of arms of the von Liebenfels family, an aristocratic family that presumably died out around 1790 and that he claimed to be descendants of, and one with a [[swastika]], which was already a popular [[Volkish]] symbol.<ref>Goodrick-Clarke: ''The occult roots of National Socialism'', Graz 1997, p. 98, and 2006, p. 93 f.</ref>

From 1908, public festivals were held at Werfenstein. Several hundred guests traveled by steamboat on the [[Danube]], where the castle is located, and were greeted with cannon shots, after which they celebrated extensively in the castle courtyard. This found great resonance in the national press and stimulated interest in Lanz's publications.<ref>Goodrick-Clarke 1997, p. 98 f.</ref>

Lanz continued to work on the ceremonies and composed devotional songs and verses. The castle was decorated with solemn representations of [[Hugues de Payens]], the first Grand Master of the Templars, and with representations of the "monkeys" who, in his theozoology, were regarded as the origin of the lower races. In 1915 and 1916 a ''New Templar Breviary'' was published in two parts, which Lanz had written with other friars. It contained [[psalms]] and hymns that drew on Christian tradition but supplicated [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] to redeem the Aryan race and wipe out the lower races.<ref>Goodrick-Clarke 2006, p. 94.</ref>

Their symbol was a yellow flag with a [[swastika]] and four [[fleurs-de-lys]]. The golden background symbolized eternity, the lilies racial purity, and the red swastika the rising Aryan hero.((r|daim|p=115))
