Joachim Schultz (1901-1953) already showed an interest in astronomy at a young age when he took his fathers globe and marched around a lamp in a darkened room to understand the movement of the earth.
He studied science before going to the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland in 1927 to study planetary influences on plant growth. From 1942 until his death he was the editor of the annual Sternkalendar.
