Welcome to Asatru Europe Network!
The Asatru-EU Network has been a cornerstone of inter-European heathen cooperation for 15 years now, and most visibly through organizing the International Asatru Summer Camps (IASC) since 2009. This informal network has now taken a significant step forward by establishing itself as a formal organization – the
Asatru Europe Network (AEN).
We officially founded AEN in Cologne, Germany, on 30th November 2024, where it will maintain its business address and operate under German law. A Board of Directors of 5 people from Sweden, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Germany will lead AEN and set up its structures.
Founding process
AEN is a pan-European project.
Due to the lack of a legal framework for private associations crossing the borders of single European countries it was decided to use the legal form of a “eingetragener Verein (e.V)” (registered private association) in Germany to realise our ideas for structure and general organisation as much as possible.
The suffix “i.Gr.” expresses the fact, that the association has been formally founded but has not been successfully registered by the authorities. Registration is in progress and may hopefully be done in January 2025. The registered office of AEN will also be in Cologne.
Executive Board
In the founding assembly an Executive Board was elected as demanded by our Statutes and the law in Germany.
The Executive Board has the following members:
– Gunna Einarsdottir, NL
– Hanna Vulykh, S
– Karel Ochman, CZ
– Sebastian Stein, D
– Haimo Grebenstein, D
Mission
The Mission Statement is our most important guideline. This statement defines our values, goals and ethics and determines our processes.
Our founding documents can be viewed on our downloads page in English as well as German versions.
Membership
Once we are registered, it will be possible to apply for membership in AEN for individual persons as well as groups and assocations (with and without a legal status).
Currently AEN has only those individual persons as members who have participated in the founding assembly.
