Karl Brandler-Pracht was born in 1864. Balzli was the secretary of the
Leipzig Theosophical Society and editor of occult magazine
Prana of which was initially edited by him. He continued editing but under the name Johannes Balzli in 1915. It was published in
Vienna by the Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft in 1917. The biography on List was published while Theosophists acknowledged List's nationalist popularization of their doctrines. This biography of List was the only book length biography of List that exists and indeed that has ever been written. Balzli was in contact with List while writing it, and it was probably co-edited by List himself. It is generally considered the most important biographical source on List. During 1916 and 1917, List wrote several articles on the approaching national
millennium, which was supposed to be realized once the
Allies had been defeated, Balzli published two of these predictions in
Prana in 1917. Balzli died in 1939. ==Written works==
