'''Philipp Stauff''' (January 23, 1876&ndash;July 17, 1923) was a German/Austrian journalist and publisher in [[Berlin]]. He was an enthusiastic [[Armanist]], a close friend of [[Guido von List]], and a founding member of the [[Guido-von-List-Society]]. He was also the obituarist for List in the ''[[Münchener Beobachter]]''.<ref>"Guido von List gestorben", ''Münchener Beobachter'', 24 May 1919, p.4.</ref>

Stauff joined the List Society in 1910 and swiftly graduated to the [[High Armanen Order]], the intimate inner circle around List. In 1912 he became a committee member of the List Society and a generous patron. He was the chief German representative of the High Armanen Order at Berlin.<ref>''Allgemeine Ordens-Nachrichten'', 13 March 1918, 3–4.</ref>

His esoteric treatise ''Runenhäuser'' (''Rune Houses''), published in 1912, "extended the Listian thesis of 'armanist' relics with the claim that the ancient runic wisdom had been enshrined in the [[Timber framing#Runic significance|geometric configuration of beams]] in half-timbered houses throughout Germany".<ref>[[Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke]], [[The Occult Roots of Nazism]], 1985: 132.</ref>

He was active in both the [[Reichshammerbund]] and the [[Germanenorden]] (pre-[[World War I]] ''[[völkisch]]'' leagues). He was one of the principal officers in the loyalist Berlin province of the original Germanenorden after a splinter group led by Hermann Pohl broke away in 1916.<ref>Goodrick-Clarke 1985: 131.</ref>
