Dissatisfied with the doctors' wages, Hartmann published an open letter to the medical profession on July 25, 1900 , in which he suggested the formation of a medical association to safeguard the interests of the class.

“Dear colleagues! Let us create a firm, purposeful organization for the purpose of vigorously representing our extremely endangered interests! Let us join together, the individual is nothing, all together we are one power. Then one should no longer count on the individual doctor, but on the whole. Everywhere we see the members of the individual professions joining together to achieve their goals through the force of joint action: we act the same way, success cannot fail! One for all, all for one! Doctors of all German states, get organized! "
