The real founder of that order is the Devil himself!

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says, that in latter times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been seared with a hot iron as to their own conscience,

The 17th century Manifestos and legend
In the 17th century three Rosicrucian Manifestos were anonymously published: Fama Fraternitatis in 1614, Confessio Fraternitatis in 1615 and the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz in 1616. Together they presented a legend related to a German pilgrim named "C.R.C.", who was later in the third Manifesto introduced as Christian Rosenkreuz. The legend tells that this pilgrim studied in the Middle East under various occult masters and founded the Rosicrucian Order, which aimed to bring about a "universal reformation of mankind". During his lifetime, the Order was alleged to be small, consisting of no more than eight members. When Rosenkreuz died, apparently in the 15th century, the Order disappeared, only to be "reborn" in the early 17th century (the time of the publication of the Manifestos).

These documents, full of symbolism (as were all hermetic and alchemical texts of those times) have been interpreted in various ways throughout the centuries. They do not directly state Christian Rosenkreuz's years of birth and death, but in two ingenious sentences in the second Manifesto the year 1378 is presented as being the birth year of "our Christian Father", and it is stated that they could describe the 106 years of his life, which would imply the year 1484 for his death. The foundation of the Order can be deduced in similar terms as having occurred in the year 1407. However, these numbers (and deduced years) are not taken literally by many students of occultism, and are considered as allegorical and symbolic statements for the understanding of the initiated. The reasoning for this relies on the Manifestos themselves: on one hand, the Rosicrucians clearly adopted through the Manifestos the Pythagorean tradition of envisioning objects and ideas in terms of their numeric aspects, and, on the other hand, they directly state in the second Manifesto "We speak unto you by parables, but would willingly bring you to the right, simple, easy and ingenuous exposition, understanding, declaration, and knowledge of all secrets".
