,Happiness and True Wealth‘. ,Racial hygienic‘ knowledge about happiness in Wilhelm Spengler’s naturopathic guidebooks in the context of Nazi race and gender politics

This article investigates the knowledge about happiness and ,true wealth‘ in Dr. med. Wilhelm Spengler’s naturopathic guidebooks from 1938, 1939 and 1958. Spengler’s instructions exemplify how knowledge about a ,happier‘, because ,healthier‘, lifestyle was linked to the „völkisch“, anti-Semitic and binary race and gender politics of the Nazi regime. The aim of the study is to gain insights into the historical conditionality of ideas and discourses of happiness in relation to concepts of performance, health, and ,race‘ from a gender historical perspective and to uncover the motives behind the propaganda strategy of medical naturopathy of the Nazi era and its afterlife in the post-war period.
