Julleuchter

A Julleuchter ( ; Yule lantern) or Turmleuchter ( ; tower lantern), is a "small earthenware candlestick, about 4" square at the bottom, about 8" tall, and it is shaped kind of like a mountain or a tower." Modern Julleuchters have the Hagall rune and a heart symbol visible on all four sides. Other examples have an Algiz rune or a Uruz rune motif instead of the heart symbol. "There is also a hole at the top for a candle (called the Summit candle), and the inside is hollowed out for a candle underneath." This item is also sometimes called a Hearth Tower.

During Third Reich Germany, Heinrich Himmler, commander of the SS, who placed great interest in Ariosophy, gave the SS Julleuchter as a presentation piece for SS soldiers to celebrate the winter solstice.

In modern times, the lantern sees some use by certain Germanic neopagans due to the perceived ancient origins of the lantern. It may also see some use by neo-Nazi individuals and Right-Wing organizations, along with people interested in militaria.
