Ernst Hartmann (born 10 November 1915 in Mannheim, d. 23 October 1992 in Waldkatzenbach, a suburb of Waldbrunn (Odenwald)) in Germany was a German medical doctor, author and publicist.[1]^{[circular reference]}

"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.
