Munich Cosmic Circle

Kosmiker for short) was a group of writers and intellectuals in Munich, Germany at the turn of the 20th century, founded by esotericist Alfred Schuler (1865–1923), philosopher Ludwig Klages (1872–1956), and poet Karl Wolfskehl (1869–1948).

[1] Other members of the group included writer Ludwig Derleth (1870–1948)[2] and the "Bohemian Countess" of Schwabing, Fanny zu Reventlow (1871–1918).

[4] Another interest was the work of Johann Jakob Bachofen (1815–1887), a Swiss anthropologist and sociologist, and his research into matriarchal clans.

[9] In spite of the antisemitism prevalent in the group, the fascist Alfred Rosenberg, who was in Hitler´s cabinet and later executed after being found guilty at the Nuremberg trials, would express hate for Klages.

Similarly Julius Evola would denounce a book by Schuler as "politically dangerous", and stated that Klages´ writtings had a "jewish tone".
