HUND , C . G ., BARON VON . —A person who played a great part in the history of Freemasonry and of the high grades , especially in Germany . He was born in 1722 , and died in 1776 . He was a landed proprietor by birth in the " Oberlausitz , " and originally a Protestant , though he subsequently became a Roman Catholic , and was buried before the high altar in the Roman Catholic church of Melrichstadt . In his twentieth year he was made a Mason

at Frankfort O . M ., March 20 , 1742 , and is supposed during his residence in Paris the following year to have received the high grades , though he is also said to have visited England and Holland . Some have declared that he received the Templar Order especially from Charles Edward Stuart ; but this seems very doubtful . It is averred that he returned to Germany in or about 1 743 , with a patent of Prov . Grand Alaster ; but this is also very problematical .

About 1 749 he founded , it is stated , the Lodge of the "DreiSaulen" at Kittlitz , and laid the foundation of a Protestant church with Masonic honours . About 1 754 he appears to have been again in Paris , and mixed up with Bonneville's Chapter of Clermont , which had incorporated with the Templar grade the pseudo-tradition of the Scottish continuation . From this system , as Thory says , Von Hund learnt his subsequent teaching , and on this basis

built up his structure of the Strict Observance . In fact , he held that Freemasonry was the successor of Templary , and that each Freemason was a Templar . With the progress of the Strict Observance we have nothing to do here ( see STRICT OBSERVANCE ! , but will merely add that the effect of Von Hund ' s proceedings was to throw an apple of discord anions- thc German Freemasons , which lias

undoubtedly been productive of grave consequences . Wc do not agree with the censures cast on Von Hund , otherwise than as fairly directed to his want of judgment and discretion . We believe him to have been an honest visionary , an impulsive enthusiast , who thought that he was going to reform and regenerate the Order . We can fully conceive that hc believed in what he put forward , though historical correctness and careful criticism have lour / since

given up the untenable hypothesis of a templar perpetuation . Like all labours and visions built up on historical falsity , thc edifice he erected at so many sacrifices has long since crumbled into dust . After long contests and many vexations , and with the full knowledge that confusion , not order , that opposition , not success , had attended his laborious schemes , honestly traced out we believe , Von Hund died at Meinin _ . cn in his fifty-sixth year . The

accounts of his personal and mental and moral qualities arc most favourable ; and , despite some latter depreciatory criticism , if , as Lenning points out , thc writer of Anti-Nicaise may be trusted , as he probably may , the verdict of posterity must and ought to be kind and gentle to Von I fund . His brethren of the "Minerva" Lodge at Leipsic struck a medal to his memory , which has often been described ; and no history of Freemasonry in Germany

can be written without remembering the remarkable part he played in it for so many long years . Von Hund , despite his love for the Strict Observance and high grade lore , never seems to have lost his attachment to the pure Craft system ; and while we deplore the " will-o ' -the-wisp" he followed and the great mistakes he made , we are not prepared to deny him the character of a zealous and attached Freemason . —Kenning ' s Cyclohccdia of Freemasonry .
