Was Mozart a Freemason?
Mozart was an active and enthusiastic Freemason, having been initiated in the autumn of 1784 in the Lodge Zur Wohltätigkeit (Charity) in Vienna. Following an imperial decree on December 1, 1785, several Viennese lodges were consolidated, placing him within the united Lodge Zur Neugekrönten Hoffnung (Crowned Hope). His contemporary Franz Joseph Haydn was likewise part of his Masonic circle.
