He was
born on 19 July 1874 in the Penzing district of Vienna in
what was then Austria-Hungary, as the son of schoolmaster Johann Lanz and
his wife Katharina, née Hoffenreich. His parents were middle class, and
his father's ancestors had been burghers in Vienna since the early
18th century.
Lanz
became a monk in the Cistercian order in 1893, assuming the
name Georg and living in the Heiligenkreuz monastery. In 1894, he claimed
to have been "enlightened" after finding the tombstone of a Knight
Templar, and began developing his theories of "blue-blond Aryanism"
and "lower races". He left the monastery in 1899.
In
1905 Lanz and some 50 other supporters of List signed a declaration endorsing
the proposed Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft (Guido von List
Society), which was officially founded in 1908. He also founded his own
esoteric organisation, the Ordo Novi Templi (Order of the New
Templars) in 1907. These movements were supposed to "further the racial
self-confidence by doing pedigree and racial research, beauty
contests and the founding of racist "future sites" in
underdeveloped parts of the Earth" (das Rassebewusstsein durch
Stammbaum- und Rassekundeforschung, Schönheitswettbewerbe und die Gründung
rassistischer Zukunftsstätten in unterentwickelten Teilen der Erde zu fördern).
To further this agenda, he purchased the Werfenstein castle ruins in Austria.
