Abstract
Paper deals with the often overlooked movement of Deutsche Christen, which emerged in the 1930s in Germany. While it is primarily known for its political collaboration with the Nazi regime (including the effort to proclaim A.
Hitler as its bishop), we can find many relations between this movement and the völkisch ideology, millennial concepts of the Nazi philosophy or the idea of racially defined Christianity which are not researched enough. In this paper, I focus mainly on the history of this movement and their brief overview, but we will also touch the theological themes of this movement which are surprisingly not being in the spotlight of researchers.
