Rudolf Elmayer von Vestenbrugg


Rudolf Elmayer von Vestenbrugg, also known als Elmar Brugg, Rudolf Elmar von Vinibert or Elmar Vinibert von Rudolph, was a technical engineer and a prolific Nazi-writer from Austria, who published several popular surveys on the work of cosmologist Hanns Hörbiger and his now-defunct Cosmic Ice Theory, as wel as a range of popular antisemitic and nationalsocialist books, including a biography of the antisemitic politician Georg Ritter von Schönerer.
Up to 1938 Elmayer lived in Graz, where he later returned. During the War he was a SA-lieutenant colonel and a military trainer, stationed in Slovenia. After 1945 he wrote on several other subjects, but he stayed true to his former political beliefs. He published a national-socialist novel and a 1958 dissertation on the Beowulf as a Germanic text.
His last book Eingriffe aus den Kosmos was published posthumously in 1971 by Hans Schindler Bellamy.
