Arnold Ehret was the founder of Anthroposophy, a spiritual movement active in Germany and Switzerland. He is considered one of the founders of "New Age" movements. Ehret was born in 1866 in Baden-Baden, Germany. He studied medicine at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, but never practiced medicine
He worked as a journalist, became interested in the occult, and began studying world religions. He married his wife, Emma von Hohenthal; they had five children, including an adopted son named Rudolf Steiner. Ehret began to teach New Thought concepts to his children.
His eldest son Rudolf Steiner (1869–1925) later adopted these teachings, which became known as "Anthroposophy." Arnold Ehret died of influenza on March 6, 1917 in Bad Wildungen.
