In 1773 he passed the assessor's examination at the Imperial Chamber Court. In 1777 he became master of the chair of the “Joseph of the Three Helmets” lodge, which he brought to great prosperity. He appeared at the Wilhelmsbad Convention in 1782 as an opponent of the High Degree Freemasonry of the Templar Order because he wanted to free Freemasonry of unnecessary baggage and useless high degrees. Because of his heretical statements he was expelled from the convention. He then founded the Eclectic League with his friend Johann Karl Brönner from Frankfurt, which significantly reformed Freemasonry. Ditfurth became Provincial Grand Master of this association in 1783, which numerous lodges joined in the following years or were founded from Wetzlar. Alongside Adam Weishaupt and Baron von Knigge, Ditfurth is also one of the most important Illuminati."
