The Jungdeutscher Orden (also known as Jungdo) was one of the many youth groups in the Weimar Republic. It was founded by ex-Wandervogel lieutenant Arthur Mahraun […]. It was an extreme-right antirevolutionary youth group with somewhat confusing ideologi. They wanted a strictly disciplined nation but rejected dictatorship; they were strongly nationalist but advocated a rapprochement with France; they rejected racial supremacy but nevertheless excluded Jews from their ranks. Mahraun spent the twelve-year Hitler era breeding sheep in central Germany and died in 1950, a man forgotten by all but the small community of the faithful. [Jean-Denis Lepage: Hitler Youth, 1922-1945: An Illustrated History]
The Young German Order (in German Jungdeutscher Orden, often abbreviated as Jungdo) was a large para-military organisation in Weimar Germany. Its name and symbol (see picture) were inspired by the Teutonic Knights (Deutscher Orden in German).
The pseudo-chivalric group was involved in nationalistic German politics. Its youth organisation was called Jungdeutsche Jugend (Young German Youth). Jungdo's political arm, the Volksnationale Reichsvereinigung (People's National Reich Association) merged with the German Democratic Party and parts of the Christian Social People's Service in 1930 to become the German State Party.
The group was founded by Artur Mahraun in May 1920 in Kassel. The organisation tried to revive ideals of pre-war Wandervogel youth movement. Very soon it reached 70,000 members, was temporarily banned in early 1921 and, temporarily being the largest of the many para-military groups in the 1920s, later expanded to almost 300,000 members. In 1933 it was banned by the Nazi rulers. [ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ]
Artur Mahraun (30 December 1890-29 March 1950) was the founder and leader of the Young German Order (Jungdeutscher Orden or Jungdo) and an early contender for the leadership of the far right youth in Weimar Germany.
Born the son of a privy councillor in Kassel, Mahraun became a career soldier with the Imperial German Army when he enlisted in the Prussian Infantry Regiment No. 83 in 1908. He served with distinction on the Eastern Front during First World War.
Like many of his contemporaries he became involved in Freikorps activity after the Armistice, forming his own group, the Offizierkompagnie Kassel in January 1919. The group was restructured in May 1920 when the Jungdo was adopted and by 1921 Mahraun could call on 70,000 followers. A strong believer in law and order, he rejected revolutionary activity and instead called for Germany to reconcile with France and rebuild her prestige through Franco-German co-operation. At its peak Mahraun's movement, which sought a return to the Wandervogel spirit, could call on as many as 300,000 followers. After meeting Adolf Hitler during the Beer Hall Putsch he quickly became a critic of the Nazi leader.
Mahraun entered the political arena in 1928 when he formed the People's National Reich Association (Völksnationale Reichsvereiningung) as an adult version of his movement, merging it with the German Democratic Party to form the German State Party in 1930. However the move was not a success as the new party performed very poorly at election. Mahraun's party and Jungdo were banned in 1933 and he was for a time imprisoned by the Gestapo.
He was briefly associated with a group called the Nachbarschafts-Bewegung after the war until his death in Gütersloh in 1950.[ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ]
After the war Arthur Mahraun claimed that the Jungdeutscher Orden never had more than 37.000 members. [http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-44435687.html]
