Order of the New Templars

The Order of the New Templars – Ordo Novi Templi (ONT) was a fascist secret society in Germany founded by Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels (code name of fascist agitator Adolf Joseph Lanz) in 1900.[1] It was modelled after the catholic military order Knight Templars and similar in its hierarchical structure as the Order of Cistercians which was the group that trained the New Templars founder Adolf Lanz.

The goal was to bring rightwing extremists together and mobilise them in favor of Nazism in Germany. Members used code names so that betrayal was difficult.[1]
