Lena (Olena) Nink is a professional astrologer based in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany, who regards astrology as a scientific discipline with roots in antiquity...
Germany has one of the richest and most consequential histories of modern astrology of any country in the world. In the period between the two World Wars, the German preoccupation with astrology was unparalleled in any other European country or the United States. It was during this period that some of the most technically innovative developments in Western astrological practice emerged from German-speaking practitioners, several of which remain influential to this day.
The Hamburg School of Astrology, based on the teachings of Alfred Witte, was established as an association in Hamburg in 1925. It introduced the systematic use of astrological midpoints and eight hypothetical points beyond Neptune, expanding the framework of chart interpretation considerably. Witte’s work was carried forward after his death by Ludwig Rudolph, and the school’s techniques eventually gave rise to what became known internationally as Uranian Astrology.
Reinhold Ebertin, born in 1901, built on Witte’s midpoint research to develop Cosmobiology, a streamlined and psychologically oriented approach that used the same midpoint methods while eliminating the hypothetical planets. His central text, The Combination of Stellar Influences, first published in 1940, remains a reference work used by astrologers internationally. Ebertin’s mother, Elsbeth Ebertin, was herself a significant figure in early 20th century German astrology. The idea of a psychological astrology — framing chart interpretation through the lens of Carl Jung’s analytical psychology — was first discussed in German astrological circles, anticipating the psychological astrology movement that would later develop internationally through figures such as Liz Greene and Dane Rudhyar.
This productive period was severely disrupted by National Socialism. Witte and Rudolph were pursued by the Gestapo, Witte is thought to have taken his own life before he could be sent to a concentration camp, and the Hamburg School’s publications were among the books burned by the Nazis. The astrological community rebuilt itself after 1945 and has remained active and organized since.
The Deutscher Astrologen-Verband (DAV) was founded on 16 October 1947 in Wiesbaden and is the largest and most important association of astrologers in the German-speaking world. The DAV has around 600 members and operates 19 certified training centers across Germany, offering a structured curriculum covering chart interpretation, astrological history, astronomical foundations, and forecasting methods. Practitioners who complete the association’s examination are entitled to use the designation DAV-geprĂĽfter Astrologe. The DAV holds an annual congress and maintains an active presence in German media.
The DAV traces its lineage to the Deutsche Astrologische Gesellschaft (DAG), founded in Leipzig on 7 August 1910, which introduced the first formal examination for astrologers in 1912.
The Kosmobiologische Akademie Arbeitsgemeinschaft (KAA) was founded in 1956 by Reinhold Ebertin to support research and practice in Cosmobiology. The Vereinigung deutschsprachiger Astrologieorganisationen (VDA), established in 2004, brings together German-language astrological organizations from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The International Uranian Fellowship continues to represent the Hamburg School tradition internationally, with roots in Germany.
German-based astrologers today practice a wide range of approaches. Modern Western astrology is the most common, with psychological astrology well represented given Germany’s historical role in connecting astrology with depth psychology. Cosmobiology and Uranian astrology — both German in origin — retain practitioner communities. There is also growing interest in traditional and Hellenistic astrology, reflecting the broader international revival of pre-modern techniques.
