Working on the runic principles expounded by Guido von List, Philipp Stauff explores the runic symbolism and implications in the architecture and building of half-timbered frameworks through a movement which came to be known as Runenhauser. Runenhauser was later taken up by the SS, using it as a reference for the construction of Rune houses.
