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.
"Hartmann lines", a scientifically unproven grid of invisible energy lines of the Earth's inherent radiation (German Erdstrahlen), are named after him. [1]
Ernst Hartmann studied medicine in Mannheim and Jena. [2] 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. [3]
Besides his work as a doctor, in 1948, Ernst Hartmann occupied himself, together with his brother Robert, with geobiology and dowsing. [4] Furthermore, he occupied himself with homeopathy and later also 'building biology' (German baubiologie). [5] The Research Group for Geobiology (Dr. Hartmann e.V.), [6] a registered association with the goal of promoting research and training in geobiology, was founded by him in 1961.
