"Hartmann lines", a scientifically unproven grid of invisible energy lines of the Earth's inherent radiation (German Erdstrahlen), are named after him.[2]
Life
Ernst Hartmann studied medicine in Mannheim and Jena.[3] During World War II he worked as a staff physician in the German army and later was briefly in American captivity. Subsequently he opened a medical practice in Eberbach on the river Neckar, where he remained more than 40 years as a practitioner.[4]
Besides his work as a doctor, in 1948, Ernst Hartmann occupied himself, together with his brother Robert, with geobiology and dowsing.[5] Furthermore, he occupied himself with homeopathy and later also 'building biology' (German baubiologie).[6] The Research Group for Geobiology (Dr. Hartmann e.V.),[7] a registered association with the goal of promoting research and training in geobiology, was founded by him in 1961.
