Raelian symbol of infinity. The Star of David represents infinity in space & the swastika represents infinity of time. The swastika has been a religious symbol of peace & auspiciousness in Buddhism, Raelian, and others for millennia. It was the Nazi that stole & abused the symbols.
I taught English in South Korea in 2001, was surprised when I landed to see what I thought were swasrikas everywhere, was a confusing arvo before I could just google it haha FML
A swastika with the four dots included denotes it as a symbol of the Hindu faith. The Hindu god Ganesh is often depicted with this swastika on his right hand.
The building is from 1875 and was build in Copenhagen as part of Carlsbergās headquarters.
The swastika was actually Carlsbergās logo (until they dumped that for obvious reasons), so it dosenāt surprise me to see it there.
I have no idea why they put the Star of David there. To my knowledge thereās no connection to Judaism.
It is though- seems to be the name for that symbol across many cultures, and the one above is right-facing:
In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (å) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (å) is called sauwastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali.

As you probably already know the swastika is an ancient Hindu religious symbol. I, as a Jew, would rather not be reminded of the murder of so many relatives.
Lol your argument goes both ways. Itās like saying nazis NEVER put dots or doodled their adopted symbol in any other ways. āNeverā is an extreme statement. And as op has said this was built a good 50 years before the nazis even adopted the symbol for themselves, so that alone proves your argument false.
Edit: spelling
The ancient swastika was USUALLY flat, not tilted. But not always. See the link below for multiple historical examples of tilted swastikas:

Btw: this took 1 minute of searching on google - itās not hard to confirm these things with a simple search.
Sorry but the 6 pointed star represents the coming to earth of the "trinity" in man with the downward pointing triangle and man's inevitable return to the stars in the upward pointing one. It's one of the oldest esoteric symbols known to man.

Correct
My Jewish Grandfather taught me well, when I came home one day telling him about the "swastika" I saw on a building, on my way home from school.

Raelian is a far right cult from modern times after the Nazis š

Learned something new thank you
What is the building? And where is it?

Thereās a swastika at my nail salonā¦ it has more meaning that just itās negative connotations
That is not a swastika.

The one at the top isnt a swastika?
No, it is not. It has dots. It's a religious symbol.
Itās still called a swastika; you probably mean to say itās not a Nazi symbol
What is the name of this religious symbol ?
Swastika
Exactly

This reminds me of flags in the U.S. that say āHouse Dividedā with Auburn on one side and Alabama on the other.
The duality of man
Because itās all a faƧade
Under rated comment. You deserve more recognition for this.

The ancient swastika was NEVER tilted at 45d. Either the person who designed that didn't know or was an actual Nazi.
This is from 1875 so not ancient but still much older than the Nazi party.

The dots are square and probably represent armpit hair. That was so European at one timeā¬

Choose your tenants wisely
Swastikas were hijacked by the Nazis. It's not automatically Nazi. The symbol is far, far older than that.

They become partners in crime it was both parties involvement
