ILLUMINATUS ROSENGARDT, RELIGIOUS
Illuminatus Rosengardt (Johann Ludwig Rosengardt) was born on August 15, 1612 as the son of the councilor Johann Jakob Rosengardt in Thann, district Altkirch (Upper Alsace).
He entered the Franciscan Order as a pious youth in Lucerne, where Johann Ludwig received the name Illuminatus. He completed his novitiate and died three months later - on March 28, 1632, "considered a blessed one by all who knew him" (omnium opinione beatus, as it read on his original memorial stone).
Because of the excessive influx of faithful asking for Illuminatus' intercession, his mortal remains were raised on February 4, 1746 and kept in the chapter house until May 21, 1749, on which day they were locked in a tin coffin and sunk into the ground below the credence table. (Burg.)
