Reinhold Wulle (August 1, 1882 in Falkenberg, Pomerania – July 16, 1950 in Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia) was a German Völkisch politician and publicist active during the Weimar Republic.
Wulle studied theology, German and history and in 1908 embarked on a career as a journalist, becoming especially noted for his anti-Semitic views. He became editor of the Berlin-based Deutsche Zeitung in 1918 - holding the position until 1920 - and under his stewardship the paper gave support to the Pan-German movement.
Wulle entered party politics in the spring of 1920 when he joined fellow rightists Arnold Ruge and Richard Kunze in creating the Deutschvölkischen Arbeitsring Berlin as a successor to the Deutschvölkischer Schutz und Trutzbund. However this group proved short-lived as it was absorbed into the German National People's Party (DNVP) in June of the same year. Wulle became a leading member of the Völkisch wing of the DNVP, and as such was close to the likes of fellow Reichstag members Albrecht von Graefe and Wilhelm Henning.
Henning was excluded from the DNVP in 1922 due to his extreme views and Wulle joined his comrade and von Graefe in setting up a völkisch working group. This formed the basis of the German Völkisch Freedom Party (DVFP), an anti-Semitic political party which they established on December 16, 1922, with Wulle as deputy chairman. Wulle and his allies were all members of the Reichstag and they were soon joined in leading the party by the likes of Ernst Graf zu Reventlow, Artur Dinter and Theodor Fritsch. During his involvement in the DVFP Wulle was investigated for involvement in a possible coup attempt by the Black Reichswehr, although little came of it.
