Glöbberists

Glöbberists were members of Glöbbery. A single member was called a Glöbberist.

Glöbbery was founded on 17 October 1888 by Reinhard Glöbbelhart and Elias Schwammelwanger at Festung Glöbbelhart in Glöbbelharttal, Switzerland. The founding meeting took place in the Red Salon. The first Glöbberists accepted the authority of The Gentleman and entered the first register of the order.

Glöbberists identified The Gentleman with Satan and Ba'al. The Middle Eye stood below the Gentleman in the order’s hierarchy. The Ghost Parliament stood below the Middle Eye.

Name

The name Glöbberist came from Glöbbery. It meant a person who had entered the order and accepted its oath system.

The plural form was Glöbberists. The adjective Glöbberian was used for material belonging to the order.

Membership

The first Glöbberists were recorded on 17 October 1888. The first register listed twelve members. The members accepted the authority of the Gentleman and received ranks inside the new order.

The Glöbbelhart family formed the fortress line of Glöbbery. That line controlled Festung Glöbbelhart. It also controlled the Red Salon because the first meetings and registers were kept there.

The Schwammelwanger family formed the messenger line of Glöbbery. Elias Schwammelwanger created the first written doctrine of the order. His line controlled the oath system and the direct messenger office.

Members outside Switzerland were entered through the external register. Jan Paap entered through this system before the Second World War. Oskar Dirlewanger entered as an operational member in the 1950s.

Oaths and records

Membership began with an oath to The Gentleman. The oath placed the member under the contract system of Glöbbery.

The motto of the order was Der Vertrag bleibt. It means The contract remains.

The register recorded membership and obligation. Payment records were used for contracts made through the order. Sacrifice ledgers were used for ritual transactions.

Broken oaths were treated as offenses against the Gentleman. Glöbberists believed that betrayal was punished through the Ghost Parliament.

Hierarchy

The Gentleman held the highest position in Glöbbery. Glöbberists treated him as the owner of every oath and contract.

The Middle Eye stood below the Gentleman. It represented his sight over the order.

The Ghost Parliament stood below the Middle Eye. Glöbberists treated it as the court that enforced hidden decisions and punished betrayal.

The highest human religious office was the direct messenger of the Gentleman. This office came from the Schwammelwanger line. The highest fortress office came from the Glöbbelhart line.
