The idea that after the “National Socialist” takeover the German political propaganda strongly supported the naming of their land the „Third Reich” is a misperception. In the historical sense the “First Empire” was founded in 962 A.D. by emperor Otto I. The “Second Empire” became into being in Versailles in 1871 after the French-Prussian War. Following the Christian doctrine of Trinitarianism the three empires can be thought of in a religious and messianic way as follows: the „First Empire” is related to the Father, the „Second Empire” to the Son, while the „Third Empire” to the Holy Spirit. According to such an interpretation the „Third Empire” would constitute the zenith of history. This „Third Empire” would follow a distorted era of Christianity that would be realized by the arrival of a new Messiah. The book of Arthur Moeller van den Bruck has quite an influence on the thinking of the nationalist young intellectuals. For political and philosophical reasons the national socialist regime isolates itself from the idea of „Third Reich” by the end of the 1930s. The Führerprinzip idea became the official ideology of the national socialist Germany, in which the idea of the „Third Reich” no longer played a role.
