Vicki Presco told me Drew Benton had trouble coping and is why they lived together. If Drew was reading this blog, and saw that Belmont agreed – to take care of me – would she have asked to move in? Do I see what is coming?

Historic Re-Installment at Belmont
Posted on June 6, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
“Originally Carl and Dorthea were buried under a huge Bay tree, and their bodies later moved to the Union cemetery “during the dark of the night” as my mother used to tell us.”
Four Generations of the Carl Janke Family were dug up from their final resting place – and put somewhere else. This is a Forty-niner Family. Dorothy Janke’s mother was born on the island of Heligoland, that means Holy Land. Heinrich Mutter may be her father. There should be a brass plaque on this island telling Dorothy’s People she was part of the Gold Rush, and was a California Pioneer. Did the Heligolandians pool their money together to go West and secure more land for future generations? People all over the world heard the gold was just lying there – in the streets! If the Belmont City Planners and Government – had not respected the dead for all those years – then there would not have been free land to grab and make a city park! Shall we title this….The Second Gold Rush….considering the price of real estate? Let us pray all the caring offspring of Carl and Dorothea – are dead – and don’t show up out of the blue to reclaim what is rightfully theirs to enjoy.
What I want!
- I want the ugly grassy shack on the hill.
- I want a 1950 Dodge Coronet like the one Rena and I drove around in.
- I want $3,000 a month to teach a course in Bohemianism.
- I want $400 dollars for appearances and dedication as the great grandson of Carl Janke.
- When I die I want to be buried next to Carl and our kin that are in Redwood city, in a small crypt attached to The Lodge in Twin Pines Park.
- I want skylights in the garage that will be my art studio.
- I want $50,000 dollars for furniture, utilities, and emergency, and a trip to Holland to study the Swan Brethren and my alleged ancestor, Gottschalk Rosemondt.
- I want the history of the Brethren, the Order of Saint Francis, and the the history of Notre Dame de Namur to be put in a small shrine with button to push to see video of the history.
- I want Stanford to conduct a complete study and file their finding with the City of Belmont.
Belmont City will buy this house and lease it to me for $1 dollar a month. They will make repairs. I expect to live another five years. The price of this home will double. When it is remodeled, it will be worth another half-million. After I die, it will be sold and the City of Belmont will recoup every cent they spent meeting my demands – and them some! I want a plaque…
The Last Bohemian lived here!”
Sure…I’ll be Santa in the Belmont Christmas Parade.
Consider the cost of eradicating the Nazis from the Holy Land. Jews are still looking for their ancestors buried in mass un-marked graves. I want Stanford to film the opening of the grave that contains three of my ancestors. Is archelogy taught at Stanford?
I awoke from my old man nap feeling I left something out. I will let the people of Berlin and Heligoland know William Stuttmeister save their combined bloodline by putting it in our crypt in Colma, and his great grandson saves us, once again. We are all….substantial, is the lesson! You will see our crypt thirty seconds into the video below. I’m going to join the Odd Fellow today.

Three Flags – One Grave
Posted on May 27, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
It is 8:33 A.M. May 27, 2023 – and I am still in shock having discovered my grandparents are buried in the same grave! I saw TWO flags put on one gravestone. That was a half hour ago. THEN – I see another flag! There are three of my ancestors buried in the same grave! WHY? Did the caretakers conclude this was a very poor family? William Stuttmeister knew they were Belmont before he died. At great expense to himself, he moved the Jankes to Colma after they were evicted from the Odd Fellow cemetery – at great expense! This was a wealthy pioneer family whose graves keep being defiled! They were moved to the Union cemetery i 1972?
I found Carl and Dorothea (also and Doretta) are buried at the Union Cemetary in Redwood City.

I just sent this message to Ursula van der Leyen the head of the European Commission:
“My ancestors are a Gold Rush family who came to California in 1849 from Hamburg, and the island of Heligoland. They brought six portable homes around the Cape and erected them in Belmont California that is near Stanford University where Commissioner von der Leyen attended college. I have found evidence of prejudice against Germans in Belmont. The graves of Cark Janke and his wife were dug up in the middle the night, and moved to another city. Janke Street was changed. The study of my family in Belmont has been oppressed. I am kin to Ian Fleming and am authoring a Bond novel, starring Victoria Rosemond Bond. I find Erdogan’s treatment of women, appalling.

Remarks: My father was the first to bring portable houses to the city. I believe two were erected where Sherman & Clays Music store now stands (Sutter & Kearney). One on Montgomery Street on part of the lot now occupied by the D.O Mills building and two on Folsom Street near First All were covered with slate roofs. My two brothers wore the flag of the Old Fusilier Guard. A building company called California Fusiliers (German) of which Colonel Little was the captain. My father also built and managed the first Turn Verein Hall situated on Bush Street near Powell. The hall was dedicated Christmas Eve and all the people of note in the city attended the exercises.
Mrs. Johnson passed away Jan. 20, 1829.
With the discovery of the Independent California Fusiliers, who may have been Turnverein and Oddfellows, one might suspect that some self-righteous Christians targeted my ancestors with their fake patriotic claptrap, and would want to obliterate all evidence they were PIONEERS! One member of the BHS asked me to limit my posts on their facebook to just Belmont History -knowing Carl built a Turnverein Hall in San Francisco. I assume he did not like my history of Vice President Kamala Harris, who was born in Oakland. Her parents may have known members of the Black Panthers, who were like California Fusiliers. These morons did not realize that all contact with me – is historic -and does go in the Public Record.

Prussia made early use of the title “fusilier” for various types of infantry. In 1705, the Foot Guards (Leibgarde zu Fuss) were designated as Fusilier Guards.[5] By 1837, low-quality infantry raised from garrison companies also were named fusiliers. These latter units were dressed in blue with low mitre caps.[6] Between 1740 and 1743 on Frederick the Great raised 14 separate Fusilier Regiments (numbers 33-40, 41-43 and 45-48).[7] Except for the mitre caps, these new regiments were identical in appearance, training and role to the existing line infantry (musketeers).

Today is the most exciting day of my long study. I found proof the Jankes were a Gold Rush family -and this fact has been oppressed and hidden – because their remains were dug up from where they rested in the grove of trees in Twin Pines Park in the middle of the night, and secretly moved to Redwood City. Citizens of Belmont objected to the removal of JANKE as the name of a street. Add to this outrage the removal of members of the Janke family -along with the Stuttmeisters – from the Oddfellow cemetery. Is this what members of the Belmont Historical Society was hiding from me? I found another source for images of my family in the Daily News, and a source I will keep a secret – unless the Grave Robbers are not done!

Doris is my kin. Why didn’t Cathryn McCarthy, and other members of the Belmont Historical Society, tell me Doris wrote a history book, titled “Belmont” – As We Remember It. It is obvious MY FAMILY feels the oppression of OUR HISTORY and wants to make sure OUR VERSION is recorded. This is – AN OUTRAGE! My attorney is going to make this FACT very clear; Doris prayed one of her kin would take an interest in the history she compiled – and add to it! I posted on the Union Cemetery and that post was removed in a vile act of desecration and censorship. I only found Doris’s letters – yesterday! This is a COVERUP. Members of the BHS dug a fresh grave – and threw me and my history in it. They tried to bury me – alive! The trauma I feel – is extreme! I have been in therapy for the same thing being done to I and my famous sister’s history.

I found my Atlantis from where my possible DNA, hail. A test should be made. Dorothy Peterson-Janke was born on the island of Heligoland, that means Holy Land. She might have been a British Subject. Did Janke live on Holy Land Island, too? Did other citizens of Holy Land come around the Horn with the portable houses – because they needed room – a new land for their offspring? Was a colony established in Belmont, that was first named Waterview? When you live on a island, you have a view of the water – all around you.
Plans were made to build a major port in Belmont called ‘San Francisco Port’. The Jankes appear to have made enemies. Did they found New Heligoland in 1849 – before California became a State? This place was seen as the Nazi Atlantis. There was a horrendous battle over it. A super bomb was made – and dropped on his in order to wipe it off the map! Did the enemies of the Jankes – mock them after this D-Day Bomb destroyed the Motherland?
I have a dream, a vision. I am destined to live on Holy Land Island that is the real Fantasyland! Consider the gathering of our first Science Fiction Writers on Santa Cruz Island. The Janke theme park – was the first Disneyland. I am wondering if the Cimri trilbe, and their Queen, ended up on Holy Land Island. Did hey claim descent from Mary Magdalene?
I founded the New Falcon Art College in Belmont. How many citizens of Heligoland came around the Horn with the Janke portable houses? Is there a hidden lineage in California? I suspect The People of The Holy Land had a colony in Hamburg that helped support the Mother Holy Land. With the revolutions of 1848 there might have been a call for….
The Exodus From The Holy Land! Prussia did make an offer to purchase California.

For six years I have pondered why there is a wreath and a rifle hanging in the tree at the picnic of the Stuttmeister- Janke – Broderick Picnic. I believe that is William Janke sitting on a tree stump, a head above the others. These are Oddfellows who traditionally come sit amongs their dead. I believe the wreath is honoring Carl and Dorthea Janke who are by feet away, they at rest in their eternal park they maketh, their Garden of Eden.
I now launch a campaign to make Harry and Magan Windsor, the King and Queen of Heligoland, and this New Kingdom, become a member of the European Union – which in theory – must contain California! Here is the Gone With The Wind Story In The West! How many times did the enemies of The Holylanders – try to starve them out?
I will now fashion a cote of arms for The New Holy Landers with this motto….
“during the dark of the night”
In the ending scene of Gone With The Wind, we see Scarlet O’Hara rising from the graveyard of Her People. Where are their tombstones?
We now return our souls to the creator,
as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness.
Let our chant fill the void,
in order that others may know.
In the land of the night,
the ship of the sun,
is drawn by the grateful dead.

Helgoland, also spelled Heligoland, island, Schleswig-Holstein Land (state), northwestern Germany. It lies in the German Bay (Deutsche Bucht) of the North Sea, in the angle between the coast of Schleswig-Holstein and the estuaries of the Jade, Weser, and Elbe rivers, 40 miles (65 km) offshore northwest of Cuxhaven. The 520-acre (210-hectare) island consists of a level, cliff-girded, red sandstone plateau, called the Oberland (184 feet [56 metres] at its highest point); a smaller, low sandy tract in the southeast, the Unterland, extended by reclamation; and a low sandy island 0.25 mile (0.4 km) east, called Düne. Geological and historical evidence suggest that Helgoland and Düne are the last remnants of a single island whose periphery in AD 800 was about 120 miles (190 km). Continuous wave attack on the cliffs and a rise in sea level or fall in land level had reduced the island’s periphery to about 8 miles (13 km) by 1649. It has an oceanic climate with mild winter temperatures.

Heligoland – Heligoland, Germany – Atlas Obscura
Heligoland, and the inhabitants were evacuated to the mainland. During World War II, the Nazis fortified the island further and constructed a submarine base. In April 1945 the British Royal Air Force dropped around 7,000 bombs on the diminutive island fortress, making it uninhabitable. You can now take a tour of the five-floor bunker system located underneath the island.
After the war, the island came under British control again. They used it for bombing practice before finally detonating about 7,385 tons of explosives under it in 1947. One of the biggest non-nuclear explosions in history, this “Big Bang” was intended to get rid of thousands of unexploded bombs. The British were ready to accept the total annihilation of the territory. Lluckily for the native Heligolanders in exile on the mainland, the plucky islet survived. However, it did change the geography of the island, dividing it into Oberland, Mittelland, and Unterland.
In 1952, a slightly slimmed down Heligoland was returned to Germany and the former inhabitants moved back to reconstruct their tiny homeland, which had survived against all odds, albeit in a slightly different shape.
Heligoland is actually made up of two islands – Hauptinsel (main island) and the small island, Düne. Düne is not permanently inhabited by humans but is home to lots of seals. The airport is also located on Düne.
Britain’s ‘big bang’ in Heligoland, 70 years on – BBC News
This 1843 painting by Rudolf Jordan suggests strongly the strong maritime influence of the island. Although a fashionable spa had been created in 1826, the maritime heritage was thought to underpin the core appeal of this British colony even to German tourists and visitors. it The painter himself was something of a German radical who became caught up in the 1848 Revolutions.
Heligoland Colony (Helgoland) (britishempire.co.uk)
he island was certainly useful to the Royal Navy for the remainder of the Napoleonic Wars, but its continued ownership after the war was by no means guaranteed. Heligoland would find itself trussed up as a bargaining chip with other Danish and Scandinavian territories. Britain was keen to keep the tiny island but returned other Danish islands and saw that Norway was entrusted to Sweden in what was known as the Treaty of Kiel. This would be the constitutional basis for British ownership of the island for the next 76 years.
The British, under Lord Salisbury, finally agreed to an elaborate deal to increase Britain’s influence and control in Central and Eastern Africa in return for Germany regaining control and sovereignty of Heligoland. Basically, Britain was to receive primacy in Uganda,Kenya, and Zanzibar in return for the small island. Queen Victoria herself was less than impressed with the trade and did attempt to scupper it. However, Salisbury managed to convince her of the merits of the deal and persevered in seeing it through. Principally he was content to keep German colonial ambitions under control and prevent them becoming yet another colonial rival alongside the much more vociferous French. It was also hoped that this deal would herald something of an Anglo-German rapprochement and bring the two economies closer together. It should be noted however, that the Heligolanders were not consulted over who should be their overlords and they were handed over regardless.
On the 9th August, 1890, the Union Jack was taken down for the last time. The following day the Kaiser arrived on the island and claimed it for Germany. The island was duly militarised and turned into a German naval base. At first, this held little concern for the British especially given the size of their Royal Navy. However, with the publication of the Tirpitz Plan in 1898 which explicitly stated Germany’s plans for its Navy to challenge the Royal Navy, the British soon realised that Heligoland might play an important role in facilitating this strategic ambition. Writers like H.G. Wells and Erskine Childers incorporated Heligoland into their pre-war writings as an example of the Germanic menace that threatened freedom. The Island began to take on a more sinister role for the British especially now that it was no longer under their administration.
The Nazis built naval facilities which were extensive enough to have held virtually the entire German High Seas Fleet if necessary. Ultra thick submarine pens were constructed of reinforced concrete designed to withstand the biggest bombs of the time. They constructed a brand new harbour and built myriad tunnels and shelters deep into the rocks. Huge quantities of provisions and ammunition were supplied to the island as it was required to be self sufficient in case it was cut off from the mainland. In the end though, it was not so much as a naval base that it would prove itself useful to the Third Reich but as a support point for the Luftwaffe and later still to monitor incoming Allied bombing formations

Ursula von der Leyen says Turkey chair snub happened ‘because I am a woman’ – CNN
(CNN)European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said sexism was to blame for an incident where she was left awkwardly standing while her male colleague sat during her last visit to Turkey earlier this month.
Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s meeting with the European Union’s two presidents raised eyebrows after von der Leyen was left standing while her male counterparts settled into two gilded chairs at the focal point of the room.
Von der Leyen told the European Parliament on Monday that she could not find “any justification” for the way she was treated, adding: “So, I have to conclude that it happened because I am a woman.”
“I am the first woman to be President of the European Commission. I am the President of the European Commission, and this is how I expected to be treated when visiting Turkey two weeks ago, like a commission president, but I was not,” she said.
“I am the president of the European Commission, and this is how I expected to be treated when visiting Turkey two weeks ago — like a commission president. But I was not,” she told European Union lawmakers Monday. “I cannot find any justification for what I was treated in the European treaties. So, I have to conclude that it happened because I am a woman.”
It was a sharp rebuke to a country with whom relations are already tense. Two days after the incident, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called criticism over the incident “unfair” and said that “the seating arrangements were made in line with the E.U. suggestion.”

Berlin Tomb of Mary Magdalene
Posted on June 29, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
I now highly suspect my Stuttmeister ancestors were French Knight Templars who fled to Berlin where they were Teutonic Knights. I am going to found my Johannite Knights Templar. Last night, I heard people plotting to take my life so my teaching is not revealed to the world. A door was opened this morning when I saw the entrance to the Royal Prussian Academy where the Gospel of Mary Magdalene was taken. I need protection. I suspect my racist brother is alive and is in contact with Patrice Hanson about using my offspring to author – his book – wherein are his racist rants. Mark Presco has money.

The Stuttmeister Tomb in Berlin
Posted on March 6, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
A Seer told me in 1987: “You own your own creation – you died!”
What she meant, is, I beheld my conception by my parents, before I went to heaven and saw God.
My parents were playing cards in the sand, naked. I walked up to them as a child of three, looked down at the cards that were all face cards, and they were talking to me in foreign languages. They were my kindred, who were very distressed because they had been silenced in their lifetime. They were Evangelicals (father)and Huguenots (mother) They are buried next to one another in Berlin. Here lies the roses amongst the thorns. I part the veil,
and I behold the Lost Kingdom – and I give a command
“Arise from thy sleep, the true church of God!”
In this video we see the Stuttmeister tomb about 15 seconds into it. This name means ‘Master of the Horse’. Consider the pale horse and rider. Here the Templars and Teutonic Knights have come to rest.
Cut and paste this url:
In Matthew 27:53 we read about Jesus raising Jews from the dead, then saying; “It is done!” He did not say, it is done, and then come the earthquake. These Jewish Saints did not rise on Sunday, but went into Jerusalem Friday night just before sundown. They imparted a restored and new covenant – a Gift for the Chosen Children of God. I believe these Saints were a lineage of Nazarites from Samson and Samuel.
Gideon was a Judge who God told he had too man fighting men. I am looking for a good few men -and women!

Matthew 27:50-54 (NIV)
(50) And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
(51) At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
(52) The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
(53) They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
(54) When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
The Dorotheenstadt cemetery, officially the “Cemetery of the Dorotheenstadt und Friedrichswerder Parishes”, is a landmarked Protestant burial ground located in the Berlin district of Mitte which dates to the late 18th century. The entrance to the 17,000 m2 plot is at 126 Chaussee Straße (next door to the Brecht House, where Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel spent their last years, at 125 Chaussee Straße). It is also directly adjacent to the French cemetery (also known as the cemetery of the Huguenots), established in 1780, and is sometimes confused with it.
In 1685, the year of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by French King Louis XIV, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg issued the Edict of Potsdam, which was essentially an invitation to Huguenots in France who were suffering in the throes of persecution to come and live in Germany in peace and safety. The invitation was a success. Thousands came. At one point, more French Huguenots lived in Berlin than Germans. To provide a place of worship for the Huguenots in Berlin, the Französischer Dom or French Huguenot Church, which I was privileged to visit in 1991, was built in the Gendarmenmarkt between 1701 and 1705, by Louis Cayart, and modelled on the main church of the Huguenots in Charenton near Paris which had been destroyed in 1688. It has a sister German Dom across the square. Thus, this year marks the 300th anniversary of this remarkable place of worship and refuge, and noble example of Franco-German architecture. The church today contains a Huguenot musuem.
History of the Huguenots
In France, the Protestant Reformation began during the 16th century. French citizens, disgruntled with the political domination of the Catholic church and desiring a more democratic religious affiliation, were greatly influenced by the writings of the German monk Martin Luther and later by the ideas of John Calvin, a French theologian.
In defiance of Catholicism and the monarchy, the French dissenters began holding meetings in secret. The exact origin of the name “Huguenot” is unknown. It appears to be a combination of the Flemish and German word. Protestants who met to study the Bible in secret were called Huis Genooten, or “house fellows.” They were also referred to as Eid Genossen, or “oath fellows” meaning persons bound by an oath.
Persecution of the Huguenots by the Catholic church was extreme and unrelenting. In 1535, an edict was published which ordered the extermination of the Protestant heretics. During the following 63 years, Huguenots were systematically tortured and executed. A group of 1500 refugees, one of whom was John Calvin, fled the persecution and established the French Protestant Church in Strasbourg.
On April 30,1598, King Henry IV of France, issued the Edict of Nantes, granting the Huguenots religious and political freedom. The edict was later revoked under the rule of King Louis XIV. Deprived of civil and religious liberty, the Huguenots began leaving France by the thousands. They settled in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Britain and the religiously tolerant new American Colonies

This monrinng I came upon posts I published last August. I am a-mazed! A Rosicrucian door has been opened. The parralels between Pan’s Labyrinth and these posts, are – astounding!
Yesterday was my late mother’s birthday. She was named Rosemary Rosamond. Heather was born on the same day. She was named Heather Marie Delpiano, she put in the arms of a dark and brutal man whose family was connected to the Sicilian mobe. Her mother knew Randolph Delpiano was not Heather’s father. Randy died childless. He was a poisoned frog put in my families bed of flowers. Heather Rose.
When Tyler Hunt was born, his father was not present. Ryan Hunt stayed up all night getting drunk with his buds. He wanted Heather to get an abortion. He did not want to be a father. As soon as I could afford it, I went to see my newborn grandson in Santa Rosa. I took Tyler and Heather to the newly discovered Stuttmeister tomb in Colma where a tiffany glass depicted a red rose growig in a blue pot. Take note of the rose on Ophelia’s dress as she enterrs the Rose Catherdral and Throne room of her diseased parents.

You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here
Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you won’t help me to do
All that you dreamed I could
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental seem, for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
Too many years fighting back tears
Why can’t the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say, “Goodbye”
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say, “Goodbye”
Help me say, “Goodbye”

Two weeks ago, my daughter Heather and I discussed what will become of my remains when I die. As my Trustee she has power of attorney. She told me her mother was a member of the Neptune Society and will be cremated by them, her ashes spread upon the surface of the sea. As fate would have it Patrice Hanson will be cremated in the Oddfellows Columbarium. The Stuttmeisters were Oddfellows whose remains were evicted from the Laurel Hill cemetery where this amazing building was built. I believe the Stuttmeisters were put to eternal rest in the smaller Oddfellows cemetery near McCalister Street where Doctor Stuttmeister had a home. William Olin Stuttmeister paid $10,000 dollars to have the Stuttmeisters and the Jankes moved to Cypress Lawn in Colma where in a tomb they rest as the eternal sunlight filter through a Tiffany stainglass window. It is alleged the large stainglass window at the columbarium of three angels was made by Tiffany.
One could say William Stuttmeister was the Guaridan of the Dead who no doubt fought Mayor Rossi’s crusade to evict the Oddfellows and Freemasons from their graves. Did William testify to the fact that Frederick the Great granted his ancestors the right to be buried in what I suspect is a Rosicrucian cemetery in Berlin?
In my next post I will show you the Guilds that my Rosamond kinfolk belonged to in Switzerland. The Oddfellows sprang from the Guilds, as did Freemasonry. My neice’s great grandfather, General Thomas Hart Benton, the Grand Master of the Masons of Iowa, saved Albert Pike’s library that contained the Scottish Rite associated with the Rosicrucians.
In 1987 I had a psychic reading at the Berkeley Psychic Institute where one is read as a rose. The Seer saw two faint leaves on the stem of the rose that reperesent your children. I had no children. In 2000, I had a dream where my angel introduced me to my daughter. Two weeks later Heather’s mother called to tell me the blessed news. I too will be cremated at the Oddfellow cathedral of souls. I want my ahses spread at Rocky Point where Christine’s ashes fell like stars into the vast ocean of Eternal Love.

ALBERT PIKE’S MASONIC LIBRARY SAVED BY ENEMY BROTHER
A Union general, Thomas H. Benton, Grand Master in Iowa, 1860 – 1862, saved Albert Pikes Masonic Library at Little Rock, Arkansas, by placing Federal Troops around Pike’s home when the city was invaded during the Civil War.
The Berlin Rosicrucians, who were close to the heir to the throne (later Frederick William II), became particularly well known. Their representatives, J. C. von Wöllner and J. R. von Bischoffwerder, held state positions. The Martinists, Masonic Rosicrucians in Moscow and other Russian cities, were associated with the Berlin Rosicrucians at the end of the 18th century.
The story of the “Chemical Wedding” takes place in the magical castle of the bride and the bridegroom. The castle is filled with lion effigies and the servants are students of Plato. In a setting similar to a Grail Romance, the Virgin Lamplighter have all the people present weighted on a scales, while a clock tells the motions of the heavens and the Golden Fleece is presented to the guests. Music is played in this atmosphere of chivalry while knights in Holy Orders preside. Beneath the castle there is a sepulchre bearing strange inscriptions, and there are twelve ships of the Golden Stone flying their individual flags of the Zodiac. During this reception a fantasy play tells the story of an unnamed princess who, cast ashore in a wooden chest, marries a prince of equally obscure background and restores a usurped royal heritage.
Together with the other two documents, the Chemical Wedding is of obvious Grail significance. As a result, the Church condemned the Manifestos. The setting was mythical, but to illustrate the scene the Rosicrucians used only the Heildelberg castle, the residence of the Palatine Lion, the home of Prince Friedrich of the Rhine and his wife, Princess Elizabeth Stuart, the daughter of King James VI of Scotland (James I of England).

According to Jean Pierre Bayard, two rites of Rosicrucian inspiration emerged from the end of 18th century. One was the Rectified Scottish Rite, which was widespread in Central Europe where there was a strong presence of the “Golden and Rosy Cross”. The other was the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, first practiced in France, in which the 18th degree is called Knight of the Rose Croix. During the 18th century, there were several rites practiced in Freemasonry based on the Renaissance universe of hermeticism and alchemy, which was created by the Rosicrucians of 17th century or earlier.
[edit] The Odd Fellows
In smaller towns and villages, there were too few Fellows from the same trade to set up a local Guild, so Fellows from a number of trades banded together to form a local Guild of Fellows from an odd assortment of trades. Hence, Guilds of Odd Fellows.[1]
Over the next 300 years or so, the idea of “ordinary” people joining together to improve their situation met with varying degrees of opposition (and persecution) from “the establishment”, depending on whether they were seen as a source of revenue (taxes) or a threat to their power. For example, when Henry VIII broke from the Roman Catholic Church, the Guilds were seen by him as supporters of the Pope, and in 1545 all material property of the Guilds was confiscated. Elizabeth I took away from the Guilds the responsibility for apprenticeships, and by the end of her reign, most Guilds had been suppressed.[1]
[edit] The Oddfellows Lodge
The suppression of the Trade Guilds removed an important form of social and financial support from ordinary men and women. In major cities (like London), some Guilds (like the Free Masons and the Odd Fellows) survived by adapting their roles to a social support function. Both of these organisations had their base in London, but established other Branches (called ‘Lodges’) across the country.[1] The earliest surviving rules of an Oddfellows Lodge date from 1730 and refer to the Loyal Aristarcus Lodge in London. Many pubs in Britain are named ‘The Oddfellows’ or ‘Oddfellows Arms’. Invariably these are past meeting places of Lodges.[1]
The French Revolution caused “the establishment” to view organisations such as the Oddfellows and Freemasons with fear. Membership became a criminal offence, and such organisations were driven underground and forced to use codes, passwords, special handshakes and similar mechanisms.[1] Fear of revolution was not the sole reason for persecution. Friendly societies like the Oddfellows were the predecessors of modern-day trade unions and could organise effective local strike action by levying all of their members for additional contributions for their benevolent funds, out of which payments could be made to the families of members who were on strike.[1]
The Oddfellows subsequently introduced a number of novel benefits for members. These included the Travel Warrant, which allowed members seeking work to stay overnight in an Oddfellows Hall, anywhere in the country, free of charge. The Oddfellows also introduced standard protection policies (or ‘tables’) to which people could subscribe to protect themselves. At that time (and until 1948 in the U.K.), payment was required to see a doctor or to go into hospital. Many people therefore joined friendly societies like the Oddfellows to obtain protection to meet these costs.[1]
The Lutheran Church traces its doctrines to Martin Luther, who started the Protestant Reformation, resulting in Protestantism.
Most Lutheran churches accept conventional Protestant theology. They are distinguished by a belief that the Bible is the inspired word of God, the priesthood of all believers, a belief in the efficacy of infant baptism, a sung liturgy, and an emphasis on faith in God as the basis of Christian experience.
Because of the prophec
y of Jan Hus, (whose name means ‘goose’), a swan is the traditional symbol of many Lutheran congregations. In Europe, Luther’s Rose is preferred. According to tradition, as Hus was being burned, he said “Today you burn a goose, but in a hundred years will come a swan whose voice you will not be able to still.”
This is a map showing the location of the Odd Fellows Cemetery which was bounded by Arguello and Geary Boulevards and Turk and Parker Streets. It was once part of the Lone Mountain Cemetery. There are homes here now as well as restaurants, shops, stores, the old Coronet Movie Theater(Now a new Senior Living Facility), Rossi playground-pool and the San Francisco Columbarium which also use to belong to the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
The Columbarium was once part of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, which encompassed approximately 167 acres (68 ha). It was built to complement an existing crematorium designed by Cahill in 1895.
In 1902 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance to prohibit the sale of cemetery lots or permit any further burials within the city. By late 1910, cremation was also prohibited. The Odd Fellows, forced to abandon their cemetery, established Green Lawn Cemetery in Colma. Transfer of bodies began in 1929 and many families also chose to remove their urns from the Columbarium. The crematorium and various mausoleums were demolished, and many of the headstones were used to build a seawall at Aquatic Park. Only the Columbarium remained.
After a time, the Columbarium was sold to the Bay Cities Cemetery Association and later to Cypress Abbey. As it passed from one organization to another it fell into disrepair. In 1980, the Neptune Society of Northern California bought it and began restoration.
In 1996, the building was added to the register of San Francisco Landmarks
The Stuttmeister monument on the grounds of the Dorotheenstadt cemetery is made of ROSE GRANITE as is the columns next to it. This cemetery was given by Frederick the Great for the purpose of burying .members of two Evangelical churches which I believe are the Church of Jerusalem and Saint Paul where the Stuttmeisters were baptized as Lutherans. I suspect many Rosicrucians are buried here for there are more artists and men of intellect at rest here, the any other cemetery in Germany. As to why there is a life-size statue of Jesus standing behind the four graves, suggests my kin were caught up in the reforms of Johann Christoph Wollner, who was a Evangelical Rosicrucian who had a powerful influence on Frederich Wilhelm, the nephew of Frederick. His father was Augustus, a name the Stuttmeisters held. I suspect there was a split in the family when Wollner tried to bring the Rosicrucians back to Christianity after failed attempts by the Prussian Royalty to disguise their Enlightenment as part of the orthodoxy. The Stuttmeister monument of rose granite is giving the correct religious message to those in the know. That a descendant of the Stuttmeisters would marry a Rosamond, whose cote of arms contains a Rose and a Cross, tells me that which is concealed takes on a life of its own in order to be revealed, because secrets can only be sustained by knowers of the secrets. When they are gone, what becomes of their truths? Consider the Tiffany window in the Stuttmeister tomb in Colma that depiects a single rose growing in a blue pot surrounded by thirteen red roses.
The Rosy German Secrets
The Fraternitas Rosae Crucis teaches that there is one God, the Creator and source of all. That within each of us is buried a particle of the Divine element, a Divine Spark, of and from God. This celestial spark is our soul. Furthermore, God gave us the gift of free will and the opportunity to either diminish or grow this tiny spark by our mode of life; by our thoughts, desires and actions. To develop this celestial soul spark, we must transmute (change) our lower nature and increase the feeling of love within our being. The end result of our efforts is to build this soul spark into a glorious, conscious Soul that forms a direct link between the individual and God. This state of spiritual development is termed Soul Consciousness or Soul Illumination. Illumination of the Soul is symbolized by the fully bloomed rose in the center of the cross of transmutation, the Rosy Cross. The mission of the Fraternitas Rosæ Crucis is to guide individuals, one by one, on the Path toward the ultimate of their Divine Inheritance, Soul Consciousness followed by God Consciousness.
What is puzzling, is why would the Stuttmeisters conceal their past having such a grand monument to their dead in Berlin? They were evangelical Luhterans, members of the Jerusalem Church that was favored by Freidrich Wilhelm, the Rosicrucian King of Prussia.
We were told that the Stuttmeisters were Prussians descended from Teutonic Knights. I suspect they were a Cadet Branch of the House of Holenzollern. My grandmother’s middle name was Charlotte, and her great grandfather was Dr. Freidrich Wilhelm Rudolph Stuttmesiter. Was he a Doctor of Thealogy? Their Jerusalem Calvinist Church has some amazing history and splits. King Freidrich was titled ‘Ormesus Magnus’ and was one of the foremost Rosicrucians in history.

I am new to the list and hope someone in Deutschland, Charlottenburg,
Brandenburg, or Berlin can help me out.
My research has brought to my attention that there is one Stuttmeister left
in Berlin. He was born in December 29, 1959, Wilhelm Erdman Arthur. He
has two children, christened at St.Peter, Berlin. The children are Johann
Herman and Henriette Theodore Emma Poehlig.
I understand that my great uncle’s father came from Charlottenburg. His
name was Herr Dr. Rudolph Von Stuttmeister. I do not know whether he
immigrated to the U.S. or not. It is a bit of a mystery. His son, Dr.
William Olin Stuttmeister, born April 29, 1862, but where I do not know,
wether in the US or Germany. Is there any way of checking in Berlin?
Also was there a Studentenheim in Charlottenburg, or the surrounding area,
and does the orphanage(I assume that is what it was) exist today?
My great uncle was Catholic, I believe. All Stuttmeister children were
christened at Sankt Petri, St. Jerusalem, St. Nicholai, St. Elisabeth. Do
any of these parishes exist, and are they Catholic?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I do not know what to do next.
Thank you.

Last night I recieved some information from my brother, Mark sent to
him by our cousin, Daryl, which led me to put a great piece of the
puzzle into place.
Dr. William Frierich Rudolph Stuttmeister was born in Berlin in 1816
and died Jan 29 1877. He is buried in a family vault at Cypress Lawn
Memorial Park in Colma California which is near Belmont. William paid
$10,000 dollars for this vault that contains members of the Janke
family. This is alot of money to spend in those days. William Sharon is here. This expenditure
would be made for a millionaire or a king, or someone related to
royalty. But, it may have been the resting place of someone of
standing in a religious order, perhaps the Masons.
This morning I typed in William’s name, minus the Stuttmeister name
which I believe denotes the manor where Charlotenburg was built
beside. The name I got was, Frederick William 2 of Prussia, who I
discovered was a Rosicrucian of the highest order, and was
named ‘Ormesus Magnus’.
Frederick William was a man of singularly handsome presence, with an
intelligence of a high order. He was devoted to the arts, and
patronized Beethoven and Mozart. His private orchestra was known all
over Europe. To quote from an article by Waite published by Rider,
who are responcible the Tarot Card deck;
“Frederick William, then Prince of Prussia. (2) He had attained
already a high position in the Rosicrucian Fraternity and was a firm
believer in the healing power of an elixir known to the Order. (3) It
was used in an illness which befell the Prince, and his recovery was
attributed to its virtues. (4) Bischoffswerder thereupon induced him
to join the Order, concerning which it is said that the real leaders
worked in secrecy, exacting implicit obedience: in a word, they were
Unknown Superiors. (5) Delighted as they werethis is of course
speculationat the advent of a royal recruit, they imposed on him a
year’s probationas it is said, “to impress him more deeply with the
sanctity and seriousness of their authority.” “
William married several times, two of them of “the left hand”. He had
four sons, one to be king, and another named William. There is no
mention of chidren from “the left hand”. One of his daughters,
Frederika Louisa Wilhemina, married William of Orange a.k.a William 1
of the Netherlands whom the Rougemonts are kin to. I believe my
father is descended from this royal Rosicrucian family. I find it
profound that he would marry a Rougemont who are associated with the
Knight Templars, and in a fictional piece by Ainsworth that may have
been inspired by the Rosicrucian Bulwer-Lytton.
The tomb of Dr. William Stuttmeister, and his Janke kin, is badly
damaged due to earthquakes, and has remained neglected. How like the
prophecy in ‘Ariol’. Have two Rosicrucian bloodlines come together,
as well as a Masonic bloodline? Consider Christine and Vicki
beholding a angel at the foot of her bed. To quote Waite;
“Moreover, the case against Wöllner may call for amendment. It is
possible for a rationalist to be sincere when he turns to things
represented by the religious side of the Rosy Cross. When he said in
a Circle of the Order “0 my Brethren, the time is not far off when we
may hope that the long-expected Wise Ones will teach us and bring us
into communion with High and invisible Beings “it is scarcely fair
to suggest that this was a mere pose. In any case the statement is
valuable for my own purpose, as it shews that he was addressing a
Lodge of Expectation, a Lodge of Quest, not one of attainment.”

A curator for the Oakland Museum called me yesterday and asked me to e-mail him the photograph of my kinfolk having a picnic in the Oakland Hills. I had just returned from Dot Dotsons in Eugene where Jo framed a enlargement of this historic event in a antique frame I purchased. She did a splendid job!
Thanks to the Trust my uncle Vincent Rice left me, I have more funds to investigate and record my lost family history. Being poor I have had to endure hardship in order to visit my newfound daughter and newborn grandson in California. Tyler’s father was not there for his son, so when I went to see him for the first time I made a point to ground him in the history of my father’s people whom I and my cousin had just discovered were in a tomb at Cypress Lawn in Colma.
We three were the first kin to enter this tomb in many years. Tyler took an early lunch when Heather breast-fed her son on a marble bench facing the Tiffany window. Afterwards we went atop a hill and had a picnic next to these beautiful angels. Heather told me Tyler remembers being there. I was amazed when I saw his eyes follow a plane in the sky, and then smile.
My friend, Joy, had given me a special AA coin with the image of an angel on it for my late sister, Christine Rosamond, that I slipped into a crack made by an earthquake.
When we drove through San Francisco on our way home, I told Heather this was her and Tyler’s town now, for the Stuttmeisters are listed as a pioneer family, and made the Blue Book. In some respects, this was a Baptism.
