Illustration: The Temple of the Rose Cross from the Speculum Sophicum Rhodostauroticum (1618) by Teophilus Schweighardt Constantiens</small>
German: The depiction was created around 1604 and published in the Speculum sophicum Rhodostauroticum by Theophilus Schweighart. In the centre of the picture is a fortress-like building moving on wheels. The picture is viewed from the "OCCIDENS", i.e. from the west. A clue to this is provided by the caption at the bottom of the picture (only barely visible here in the picture). The entrance to this building, which reveals itself directly to the viewer, is marked by a lettering. Above the archway one reads "VENITE DIGNI" ("COME HERE, DIGNIFIED"). To the right of the archway is a cross and to the left a rose. Directly below the entrance one reads the word "MOVEAMVR" ("LET US MOVE") spread over two lines. Above the archway are two windows with the words "IESVS NOBIS OMNIA" ("JESUS [IS] ALL FOR US") running along them. It is thus clear that, among all the many other symbolic representations, this could be a Rosicrucian representation. The cross and the rose are clearly visible, but not united as in today's form.
