Link to the original Irminsul depiction...
The Irminsul was a
sanctuary of the pagan Saxons, which was destroyed by the Franks in 772 at the behest of Charlemagne as a prelude to the Saxon Wars. The name Irminsul comes etymologically from irmin = large and sul = pillar, thus denoting a large pillar.
According to the Frankish annals, the Irminsul was located some distance from Eresburg near today's Obermarsberg and was one of the most important Germanic shrines.
The Irminsul amulet is made of bronze and is also available in a genuine silver-plated version.
Dimensions: 3.5 x 3.5 cm.
A solid leather strap in 1 m length is included with the Irminsul pendant.
