1459. At the same time, the "Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross" was founded. This united a small number of individuals who remained unknown and who — unlike, for example, Paracelsus (1493–1541) — did not come forward through a teaching presented to the outside world, but placed themselves selflessly in the service of their fellow human beings, working hidden from view out of spiritual inspirations. Further Rosicrucian writings, presumably by the same author, Valentin Andreae (1586–1654), now appeared: in 1614 the Fama Fraternitatis (addressed to the "heads, estates and scholars of Europe"), in 1615 the Confessio, and in 1617 the General and Universal Reformation of the Whole World. In this "General Reformation" from the spirit of Rosicrucianism, there emerged again from concealment those impulses that had worked underground in the fifteenth century, laying the germ for the threefoldness of social life in the free economic village communities.
