Erich Carl Kühr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich Carl Kühr (born May 13, 1899 in Berlin , † February 18, 1951 in Bayerisch Gmain ) was a German astrologer , researcher and writer.

Life

In the 1920s and 30s he took part in discussions about the basics of astrology as part of the work of the Astrological Central Office , an interest group of practicing astrologers. Kühr presented his views on the trigonometric calculation bases for astrological house systems and directions , consistently developing the direction system of Regiomontanus according to the instructions of Ptolemaeus and thus establishing the system of "placidian direction under the pole of the signifier".

He wrote numerous articles in the astrology magazine "Zenit" and stated that a certain hierarchy in the procedure must be respected in the psychological interpretation of a horoscope .

On June 9, 1941, he was arrested by the Gestapo and confiscated his work and research material after Nazi Germany as a result of unsuccessful England flight of Rudolf Hess 'secret teachings and occult sciences' , u. a. astrology, were banned because Hess was considered its follower and promoter. Kühr was released after a month, but was no longer allowed to practice his profession as astrologer. He was able to save a hidden manuscript of the “psychological horoscope interpretation” from the war. After losing his property in a bombing raid in 1945, he built up a new life in Schellenberg near Berchtesgaden and began practicing as an astrologer again.

In 1923 he married Else Amalie Preuschaft (1897–1975), two years his senior, with whom he had children Helga (1924–2003) and Christian (1929–1997). The couple separated during World War II. His true love was the opera singer Magda Pfeiffer, with whom he had the daughter Barbara (* 1928). Erich Carl Kühr suffered from asthma and heart failure. Presumably in 1949 he fell ill with a serious lung disease, of which he died in 1951.
