Dr. Ernst Hartmann was born in Mannheim on Nov.10th 1915. A trained physician, he worked as a staff surgeon in World War II, during which time he was captured by Americans. After he was discharged from war captivity, he established his own surgery as a general practitioner, which he ran for more than 40 years.
From 1948 on, Dr. Hartmann and his brother Robert developed an interest in radiesthesia, geo-biology, homeopathy and also construction biology. Together, they developed the model of the so-called “global net grid according to Dr. Hartmann”, which is commonly called the “Hartmann grid” in radiesthesia: it refers to cosmic radiation that surrounds the earth. The direction of the strips is North – South, East – West, the width of the strips being between 20 and 50 cm. The width of the meshes is about 1.80 to 2.50 m in North-South-direction and about 2.50 to 3.30 m in East-West-direction. The course of this system can be influenced by different factors. In residential areas, e.g., the grid structure may be distorted by mirrors or metal items with a large surface such as radiators.
Hartmann assumed already during his time at university and later on as a practitioner that illness is related to the immediate surroundings of a person, especially the sleeping place. He coined the term “geopathy” in radiesthesia. This term refers to factors making people ill, based on “geo-pathogenic zones” such as intersections of earth radiation, water veins or faults. He also used the term “relocation reaction” to describe changes in a person’s state of health after changing the sleeping place. He often observed that health problems disappeared after a radiesthetic examination of the bedroom and a subsequent relocation of the bed.
From 1951, Ernst Hartmann held seminars and conferences on the topic of radiesthesia in Eberbach. In 1961, he founded the “research group for geo-biology Dr. Hartmann”. He was the first chairman of the group for almost 30 years.
Dr. Hartmann was also involved politically in the city and district council. After discovering a well of healing water he played an important part in the city of Eberbach’s success in becoming a spa town. He was also a co-operator of the spa stud farm Mülben and developed regenerative cure treatments from mare’s milk and “kumys” (naturally fermented mare’s milk). Polyxene preparations are also based on the ideas of Hartmann and the pharmacist Derschum. These are homoepathic remedies made from three different kinds of grasses, the types of sedges: Carex alongata (longstanding sedge), Carex Flava (yellow sedge) and Carex Vesicaria (bubble sedge). The grasses are planted in geo-pathogenic irritation zones and processed homeopathically. Polyxene remedies are supposed to influence the vegetative nervous system in order to produce location-specific antibodies. Hartmann also published a few books documenting his research. The standard works include “Illness as a location problem” (Krankheit als Standortproblem), Haug Verlag, Heidelberg, 1964 and “On the constitutions Yin Yang and types of reaction” (Über Konstitutionen Yin Yang und Reaktionstypen), published by the research group for geo-biology, Münsen, 1986.
A holistic view of human beings was crucial to Dr. Hartmann. In his opinion, the interplay of body, mind and soul was in a continuous interaction with a person’s surroundings.
Dr. Hartmann died in Waldkatzenbach on October 23rd 1992. Up to his death, he remained the honor chairman of the research group for geo-biology.
