In summer 1936, Gunther Kirchhoff and Wiligut, undertook a private 22-day expedition to the Murg Valley near Baden-Baden in the Black Forest, where there was a settlement described as consisting of "old half-timbered houses, architectural ornament, crosses, inscriptions, and natural and man-made rock formations in the forest," which, they claimed, showed it to be an ancient Krist settlement (Krist was a messianic Germanic figure allegedly associated with Irminism). Wiligut identified Schloss Eberstein as a center of Irminism. In Saxony, he discovered another "Irminist complex", identifying as "spirit point", Bodenburg as "will point", Gandersheim as "central awareness point", as "force hand point", Kalefeld as "heart point" of the crucified Balder, as "generative point", Naensen as "material hand point" and Ebergötzen as "skould point".
