This is a rare opportunity to own an actual piece of the Himmler crypt in the North Tower of the SS Castle in Wewelsburg, Germany.
SS Ordensburg and Reichsführerschule
Wewelsburg, a small village of the town of Büren in Paderbornland, Westfalia (Nord), Germany has for centuries been the site of a beautiful stone castle set atop a natural rock outcropping overlooking a wide green valley. It has a long and impressive history, accommodating Napoleon, the Prussians and countless religious leaders.

On 27 July 1934 the Nazi Party signed a 100 year lease for the castle ruins and Wewelsburg became the site of the SS Ordensburg and Reichsführerschule.
Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler spent enormous amounts of money on the restoration and conversion of Wewelsburg Castle. He even opened Konzentrationslager Wewelsburg-Niederhagen (a branch of the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp near Berlin) nearby to create a labor pool to be used for the restoration. Eventually, the castle was placed under the command of SS-General Siegfried Taubert and contained the SS Library of 12,000 volumes, a fine collection of art and the personal weapons collection of Heinrich Himmler.
A great many SS records were kept at Wewelsburg and it was here that SS Honor Rings of deceased SS members were returned.

A ceremonial room in the old crypt under the North Tower was beautifully finished and Himmler instructed that it was there that he was to be buried after he died. In 1995 alterations were made to Wewelsburg Castle to make it possible for visitors to look into the Himmler Crypt without having to enter through the tower.

A very small amount of original Wewelsburg Castle Westfalia limestone was removed from the crypt to create this access.
