History
The Guido von List Society was founded by the Ariosophist Guido von List, the initiator of the doctrine of Armanism, on the Summer solstice of 1911. A circle of inner adepts of higher initiatory degree within the society formed the Hohen-Armanen-Orden ("High Arman Order"), including List himself. In the ideology of the group the Armanen were, in ancient times, the highest priestly class of the Germanic populations, descending from the primordial stock of the White race.
The Armanen-Orden was founded in 1976 as the re-activated Guido von List Society, after contacts in 1967 between Adolf Schleipfer (born 1947) and the still living last president of the society, Hanns Bierbach.
Schleipfer founded the Armanen-Orden with his then-wife, Sigrun Schleipfer, née Hammerbacher (1940–2009), after the divorce known with her noble titles of "Sigrun, Baroness von Schlichting" or simply "Sigrun von Schlichting" (daughter of the Völkisch writer Hans Wilhelm Hammerbacher). Despite the divorce Adolf and Sigrun served together as the "Grandmasters" of the Armanen-Orden.
