Rosslyn Chapel & Rudolf Hess

On 9 May 1930 Dr Karl Hans Fuchs, a former member of the Thule Society - the occult/mystical group that flourished in Munich in the early 1920s and which was closely associated with the origins of the Nazi Party - visited Rosslyn Chapel with a party of other Germans, where they signed the visitors' book. While he was in Edinburgh, Fuchs also visited the Theosophical Society, informing the members that he had been sent to Scotland by Rudolf Hess.

Hess, the eminence gris behind Hitler from the early days, and later to become the Deputy Führer of Nazi Germany, had also been a member of the Thule Society, being deeply interested in esoteric, mystical and mythological matters.

Dr Fuchs confided certain things about Hess to the Edinburgh Theosophical Society members. He said that Hess believed that he was related to the Hamilton family, one of Scotland's leading noble families. (On parachuting into Scotland on 10 May 1941, Hess asked to be taken to the Duke of Hamilton.) According to Fuchs, Hess was particularly interested in Alexander, the 10th Duke, who had been a close friend of the esoteric novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton.

Fuchs also said that Hess identified himself with the Parsifal of the Grail legends (that was his nickname in Nazi circles) and that he believed that Rosslyn was a - or perhaps the - Grail chapel, in Fuch's words, 'the chapel where the black hand snuffed out the candle'. He added that Hess's ambition was to set up a study centre in Edinburgh for these and related matters.

It has been speculated that it was Hess's interest in Rosslyn Chapel that led him to choose Scotland as the place for his abortive peace mission in May 1941.
