BGHS member involved in a publication about the Externsteine
The book presents new scientific research on the Externsteine and gives a critical insight into ideological interpretations, that have been generated by the Völkisch movement since the early 20th century.
Two members of the BGHS and one alumnus contributed to the book: the historians Stefanie Haupt, Julia Schafmeister and Karsten Wilke wrote articles on central Völkisch protagonists and on the significance of the Externsteine for right-wing extremism.
Cover of the book: Die Externsteine

The book will be presented in a ceremonial address on Thursday, 13 March 2018, at 7:30 p.m. at Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold. Among other speakers, co-editor Stefanie Haupt will present the concept of the book, as well as the concept of the conference which gave the fundament for it.
