Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (April, 1755, Meißen - July 2, 1843, Paris) was a Saxon doctor, author, translator, [[occult|occultist]], and [[freemasonry|freemason]] of the lodge "Minerva of the Three Palms". He is the founder of [[homoeopathy]]. Hahnemann studied human medicine in Leipzig, Vienna, and Erlangen and became a doctor and author.

In 1796, Hahnemann composed the [[law of similars]] underlying homoeopathy. Shortly after 1800, there were first attempts of applying the treatment. Homoeopathy became popular about 1811, and Hahnemann established a practice in the town of Köthen.

As of 1830 first disputes about homoeopathy arose among supporters.
During the last years in his life, Hahnemann emigrated to Paris.
