Himmler intended to make the building into a center for the SS, and between 19, Himmler ordered the building expanded and rebuilt for ceremonial purposes. In 1933, Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, acquired Wewelsburg, a castle near Paderborn in the German region of Westphalia.

Wewelsburg mosaic and the Nazi period View of the mosaic's placement in Wewelsburg The Anti-Defamation League notes that though the symbol is popular with white supremacists, imagery resembling the black sun features in many cultures, and that such imagery should always be analyzed in the context in which it appears, as it may not necessarily be intended to serve as a symbol of white supremacy or racism. The book links the Wewelsburg mosaic with the neo-Nazi concept of the "Black Sun", invented by former SS officer Wilhelm Landig as a substitute for the Nazi swastika. Its association with the occult originates with a 1991 German novel, Die Schwarze Sonne von Tashi Lhunpo ( The Black Sun of Tashi Lhunpo), by the pseudonymous author Russell McCloud. It is unknown whether the design had a name or held any particular significance among the SS. It first appeared in Nazi Germany as a design element in a castle at Wewelsburg remodeled and expanded by the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, which he intended to be a center for the SS.
The symbol's design consists of twelve radial sig runes, similar to the symbols employed by the SS in their logo.
