The Christian group “Gold und Rosenkreuzer” (Golden and Rosy Cross) was founded by the alchemist Samuel Richter (Sincerus Renatus) in Prague in the early 18th century, not as free brotherhood as envisaged by the original Rosicrucian Manifestos, but as a deeply hierarchical secret society, composed of internal circles, recognition signs and based upon alchemy treatises.

 Alpheus--Secret Tradition of Islam
Christianity emerged as a powerful institution dominated by a clerical hierarchy largely ignorant of the original esoteric truths.
Within Islamic esotericism, as in the original Mosaic and Christian revelations, knowledge is made accessible depending on the integrity and cognitive ability of its recipients, with the consequence of requiring the withholding of information from the uninitiated.
This is similar to the Christian Gnostic idea of the relationship between Jesus, representing the exoteric, and the beloved disciple John to whom the esoteric doctrine was divulged.

Today, Christian Rosenkreuz, the mythical founder of the Brotherhood, is accepted as a divinely-inspired figure by many esoteric groups, including the followers of Rudolph Steiner and most self-confessed Rosicrucians; for most historical scholars, the manifestos are a 'hoax' and the furore a case of paranoid mass hysteria.
