7. The Julleuchter # 505

The Julleuchter (Yule Lantern) is used to celebrate the Vernal Equinox, Mid-Summer, Autumnal Equinox, and Mid-Winter. Mid-Summer has been Christianized as the feast of Saint John the Baptist and Mid-Winter has been Christianized as the birth of Jesus Christ. Julleuchters became unpopular as Christianity spread and were only used in small communities that held on to their pagan beliefs. Symbolized in the form of the " Midnight Mountain", this item follows the ancient customs from East Frisia, to Scandinavia . This small light has been used as a memento of the "Year of the Great Migrations" of the people of the north, & as the small light of humanity under the stars of the night sky. When used during the 2 Solstice periods of the year, this is a symbol of the victory of Light over the Darkness, and also as a token of Eternal Circulation. The Norse Rune of Faith and a heart that represents the spirit or soul are visible on all four sides. It stands for an inseparable community, its conscious and attitude. It is used as a symbol of the sunlight never going out.

During the Vernal Equinox, the holiday of Ostary (Ostara-Feier) which symbolizes the revival of the sun, a candle is lit in the lower part of the Julleuchter and is then transferred to the upper position. During the Summer Solstice (Mittsommer-Feier) the holiday that symbolizes the sun, which entered the total force (god of bal’dura). A candle only burns at the top of the Julleuchter. During the Autumnal Equinox or Autumnal Ting (Herbst-Thing) the holiday which symbolizes the beginning of niskhozhdeniya of the sun in the worlds of other. A candle is lit at the top of the Julleuchter and transferred downward. During the Winter Equinox, the holiday of Yol, what is now known as The 12 Days of Christmas, twelve candles are used. One is used each night symbolizing the twelve months, until the 31 of December when the "July Moon shines." On that night a thirteenth candle is used for the new coming month of January. The candles always burn below but on the last night, the candle is again transferred upward- this is the sun, which is spilled in order to return to the earth from the gloom of another peace.

The Julleuchter was first mentioned in the Swedish magazine “Runa” in 1888. It described a Julleuchter from the 16th Century that is today in a museum in Holland. In 1933 an article about the Julleuchter was published in Germany which helped popularize it once again. This article described a Julleuchter in the Norwegian royal museum in Stockholm.

In a 1936 memorandum, Himmler, the Head of the S.S. set forth a list of approved holidays based on pagan and political precedents and meant to wean Elite Forces members from their reliance on Christian festivities. The list included April 20, May Day, the Summer Solstice, and the November 9 Beer Hall Putsch anniversary. Climaxing the year in the Elite Forces Commander's scheme was the Winter Solstice, or Yuletide, an event that brought S.S. folk together at candlelit banquet tables and around raging bonfires that harked back to German tribal rites.

In January 1936, the S.S. Porzellan Manufaktur Allach was created in Munich under the control of the Head of the German Elite Forces. High-ranking artists were locked into contract. The program of the factory included over 240 porcelain and ceramic models. Due to a rapid expansion of the enterprise, the factory was not able to meet production, so in October 1937 a part of production was shifted to Dachau. Originally the Allach factory manufactured only art ceramic, like plates, jugs and vases, but in the war years they also produced simple utensils like ointment containers and cafeteria table-ware. Special occasion gift items for loyal S.S. supporters were also made and given away at dinner parties and other events. The quality of the porcelain pieces produced in Allach is extraordinary, and due to very limited production numbers and years of operation, Allach pieces today demand very high prices.

Allach porcelain made a variety of candle holders ranging from elaborate gilded baroque candelabras, to the most basic plain white porcelain single candle holder. Production numbers for most candle holders were above average for other Allach items, indicating popularity and interest among the German people. The varying styles and cost of the candle holders produced at Allach allowed most Germans of every class to own them. The Allach Julleuchter was unique in that it was made as presentation piece for S.S. officers to celebrate the winter solstice. It was later given to all S.S. members on the same occasion. Made of unglazed stoneware, the Julleuchter was decorated with early pagan Germanic symbols. Production numbers in 1939 alone were a staggering 52,635, certainly a record for any single item produced at the Porzellan Manufaktur Allach.
