Template:ScientologySeries Tilman Hausherr is a German citizen born 1965 and living in Berlin, Germany. He is a software developer and the author of the software Xenu's Link Sleuth, but he is best known for his criticism of Scientology.

Scientology critic

He has been described as a "critic of Scientology", and an "anti cult-figure". Hausherr maintains a website with material related to Scientology, including the the Scientology celebrities FAQ, as well as the FAQ: Scientology in Germany (2001), which was cited as a reference by Salon.

In 1998, Scientology sent a letter to Hausherr, telling him to remove altered Scientology images from his Web site. Parody alterations included changing the Scientology "S" to a dollar sign, as well as elongating the nose of the president of the organization, which was a comparison to Pinocchio, a liar. In the course of the dispute Compuserve - hosting the pages and altered images - blocked his website for TOS violation. Hausherr had maintained that the altering of the images showed that this was a fair use parody.

Tech sector

Aside from his work at a branch of Siemens AG Hausherr has contributed to the magazine Berliner Dialog, published from 1995 to 2005 by several Lutheran Priests who are part of the Dialog Zentrum Berlin e.V. (Berlin Dialogue Center).

Sources credit Hausherr for coining the term "Sporgery" in the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, to which he is a regular contributor.

Hausherr's Xenu's Link Sleuth software was called the "fastest link-checking software" by PC Magazine.
