Franz Hartmann -- Never a member of any O.T.O. (634 words)
In fact, Kellner considered Hartmann to be an exalted Rosicrucian, a high occult initiate, and a philosophical genius, and treated him as a valued friend.
Hartmann played an important rôle on the Viennese esoteric scene, introducing the culturally influential polymath and historian Friedrich Eckstein (friend and occasional collaborator of Sigmund Freud) and his wife, a well-known author under her nom de plume of 'Sir Galahad', to the Theosophical Society there.
From this time onwards Hartmann severed all connections with Reuss, but because Hartmann was still "legally" a co-leader of Memphis-Misraim, Reuss was compelled to have Hartmann's signature on the Rite's warrants, charters, and other official papers; a close examination of these documents shows that Reuss used a rubber-stamp facsimile of Hartmann's signature.
