Who was in the illuminati?

Answer 1

No one is in the Illuminati currently. It no longer exists, not since the late 18th century. When it did exist there were only about two thousand people in south central Europe who were associated with it.

Answer 2

The 'Illuminati', an organized in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt (1748-1830) in Ingolstadt Bavaria; the original was the Bavarian Illuminati with an initial membership of five. Although the membership rolls were kept secret, eventually around 2000 throughout Europe, some known members were:

• Baron Adolph Freiherr von Knigge (1752-1796)
• Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1721-1792)
• Franz Xaver von Zwack (1755-1843)
• Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
• Johann Gottfried von Herder (25 August 1744 - 18 December 1803)
• Count Alessandro di Cagliostro [aka: Giuseppe Balsamo] (2 June 1743 - 26 August 1795)
• Franz Georg Lang (1752-1790)
• Johann Adam Lang (b. 1762?)
• Karl Heinrich Ritter von Lang (1764-1835)
• Johann Jakob Lanz (1735-July 20, 1785)
• Christoph Friedrich Nicolai (1733-1811)
• Baron Thomas Franz Maria de Bassus (1742-1815)
• Konrad Lang

When Karl Theodore became ruler of Bavaria in 1777 and secret societies were banned by an edict of 1784, reiterated in 1785 including the Illuminati. Weishaupt fled and his documents and correspondence were seized. Van Zwak's premises was searched and all of the groups literature was found. The entire organization disbanded and any whose name had not been uncovered did not want their association to become public. Weishaupt took over a year to get to the sanctuary of von Knigge, hiding in alleys and chimneys.

Any groups claiming to be or named as 'Illuminati' since that time are a product of fiction. A number of novels (fiction) have been written using the name of the organization or a similar sounding one. There are many rumors, theories, and sound bites constantly circling around, but that is all they are. There are people who have a need to believe in secret organizations and conspiracies who keep the stories circulating.

Answer 3

Illuminati "gang," that's a new one.

There is no "Illuminati gang." So a list of members is problematic.

Answer 4

No one now belongs. The Illuminati doesn't exist. Hasn't for over two hundred years.
