About N. E. Bode

The following list of Illuminati members is a compilation of well-known personalities associated with the Illuminati, an 18th-century Bavarian secret society. The list is in alphabetical order.

The Illuminati Order was founded on May 1, 1776, by the philosopher and canon lawyer Adam Weishaupt in Ingolstadt and existed primarily in the Electorate of Bavaria until it was banned in 1784/85. The secret society had set itself the goal of spreading the values of the Enlightenment and infiltrated the lodges of the Freemasons for this purpose. A total of 1,395 members of the order can be identified, around a third of whom were also Freemasons and came almost exclusively from the German-speaking world (particularly Bavaria and Thuringia). The members included members of the upper classes, including nobles, entrepreneurs, scholars, intellectuals, military personnel, and civil servants. After a brief heyday, the Illuminati where banned in Bavaria in 1784/85 as treasonous and anti-religious, and by the 1790s at the latest, it was largely inactive. Although hardly any French-speaking people belonged to the Illuminati, conspiracy theories later arose that suspected the group of being behind the French Revolution.
