Persecution of Germanic Pagans has happened in different periods of history, for instance during the Christianization of Northern Europe, the Third Reich, and in present days.
Christianization
Main article: ChristianizationAs Germanic Paganism was the religion of the Germanic people, both the Christianization of the Germanic peoples and the Christianization of Scandinavia may be understood as persecution of Germanic Pagans through Christians.
Third Reich
Main article: Nazi mysticismThe Nazi party, of totalitarian orientation, viewed all independent religious groups as a danger (except for Nazi mysticism, based in part on Germanic mysticism). Followers of Germanic mysticism, some of whom referred to themselves as Germanic Pagans, were therefore persecuted in the Third Reich, although they were not the primary victims of the holocaust.
Present days
Conflicts between Germanic neopaganism groups and the authorities are sometimes portrayed by those groups as persecution of Germanic Pagans. Examples include denying inmates religious litterature.
