Heindel’s Youth in Photos – Chapter 2
Dec 16th, 2009 by admin
Max Heindel’s baby picture surfaced almost exactly on cue, a few days after members and friends gathered at Mount Ecclesia to celebrate the centennial of The Rosicrucian Fellowship and three months ahead of the 100-year commemoration of the infant organization’s benchmark publication, The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception. Perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that even after 100 years Heindel’s magnum opus continues to be the authoritative work against which all other Rosicrucian philosophical works are measured. Now in the public domain, you will find it under the BOOKS tab on this website.
Baby Carl
Madeline B discovered five very old Heindel photos and documents in a box in the business office just days after the centennial and she asked Roger Cosio to send copies of these to Ger W for inclusion in the English translation of his biography, Max Heindel and The Rosicrucian Fellowship.

Carl is the younger of the two boys, the older boy a friend or relative.
Carl Louis Fredrik Grasshoff adopted the name, Max Heindel, when he came to the United States from Denmark in about 1896 or 1897. The badly stained “original” photo, above, was electronically “retouched.”
