Abstract
In this article we describe the cultural phenomenon of the Brotherhood of the Rose Cross. The basis is a number of texts that made a lot of fuss during the 17th century. The context was the Lutheran church, in which the realization arose that the Reformation had not succeeded, because Luther and friends only wanted to reform the church and society, while they didn’t had any attention for the individual. The Reformation was not finished, now they wanted to reform the person spiritually. This is what the authors wanted to achieve with their manifests and ritual text around Christian Rosenkreutz. We were convinced that this literary phenomenon points at a deeper pattern of the Christian tradition, namely the incentive for self-development.
