'''K. Freigedank''' is the pen name of composer [[Richard Wagner]] in a series of anti-Semitic writings, especially ''Das Judenthum in Der Musik'' (''Judaism in Music''), first published in 1869. The article had been used as a basis for the National Socialism (Nazi) of [[Germany]] under [[Adolf Hitler]].
The word itself, ''freigedank'', is German for ''free thought'' or ''free-thinker'', which in its English annotation is used as a byword for [[atheism]].
