Hans Robert Hörbiger
Johann Robert Hörbiger (1885–1955), commonly known as Hans Robert Hörbiger, was an Austrian engineer and proponent of the Welteislehre, a pseudoscientific theory which asserted that the base material of the universe was ice. Initially studying engineering and running a business with his father and brother, Hörbiger later worked to promote the theory; he worked under Heinrich Himmler in the Ahnenerbe, where the theory was use to generate weather forecasts.
