Folkvang

Folkvang

Der Folkwang (altnord. Folkvangar – „Volkshalle, Volkswiese“), auch als Folkvang oder Volkwang bezeichnet, ist in der nordischen Mythologie einer der Götterpaläste in Asgard und Wohnsitz der Göttin Freya. Hier befindet sich – von einem blühenden Garten umgeben – der Saal Sessrumnir, der neben Walhalla einen der beiden großen Säle bildet, in welche die gefallenen Helden nach ihrem Tod Einzug erhalten.

„Volkwang ist die neunte: da hat Freyja Gewalt
Die Sitze zu ordnen im Saal.
Der Walstatt Hälfte wählt sie täglich,
Odin hat die andre Hälfte. “

Edda, Grimnismal, Strophe 14
