(Irmensdule, Irminsul, etc.), in German mythology, seems to have been a principal god of the ancient Saxons. At Eresburg, now Stadtbergen, on the Dimel, the famous pillar Irmin is said to have stood, that was destroyed by Charlemague in 772, during the Saxon wars. Might, courage, war, were all-important to the Germanic nations; therefore it is quite possible that Irmin was a god of war.
