Johann Michael Hahn Explained

Michael Hahn (2 February 1758 – 20 January 1819) was a German Pietist, Theosophist and the founder of the Hahn'schen Gemeinschaft. His alleged forename Johann does not appear on his birth certificate.

Life

He was born into a peasant family on 2 February 1758, at Altdorf near Stuttgart. At the age of seventeen he claimed to have had a vision lasting for three hours. From that time on he attended Pietist meetings, despite his father's opposition which drove him from his home. He became a preacher, living on the estate of Duchess Frances at Sindlingen near Herrenberg in Württemberg, where he died on 20 January 1819.
