Abstract :After 1453, the battle terms \"Europe\" and \"Germanic\" advanced to fateful political and scientific paradigms. The claim of foreignness between Turks and \"Germans\" displaced the medieval idea of the primal kinship of the peoples as well as the thesis of the Turkish origin of the runic script, which results indirectly from the old migration myths. Although the discovery of rune-like inscriptions in Siberia reminded the scholars of the old legends and many well-known scientists considered the comparison of the scripts and cultures necessary, such research impulses could not prevail so far – with disastrous consequences. For the seperation of the scripts and cultures paved the way for the Nazi-Ideology. In any case, the comparison of the writings and cultures has been neglected so far only mistakenly and prejudiced. Now the need for the comparison of the Old Turkish and „Germanic" scripts and cultures stands again before us. Challenging the science world.
