Schloss Salem (North view of the abbey building) Schule Schloss Salem is a German boarding school Internat with its registered office at the former imperial abbey of Salem Reichsabtei Salem in the municipality of Salem not very far from Lake Constance Bodensee. The School was founded in 1920. Salem has been co-educational from the very beginning. The founders Kurt Hahn, Karl Reinhardt and Max von Baden were supporters of progressive education and developed the principles for Salem that are still binding today. The motto at Salem is "Plus est en vous" – "There is more in you than you think". This means that the pupils develop their talents and gifts to the best of their ability. This is not only a matter of academic performance but above all, character-building within the framework of a comprehensive education at the School.[1] List of contents [Hide] • 1 Locations • 2 History o 2.1 1920 to 1933 o 2.2 1933 to 1945 o 2.3 1945 to 1970 o 2.4 Since 1970 • 3 Well-known former students at Salem • 4 Concept • 5 University entrance qualifying examinations • 6 Composition of the student body • 7 Fees • 8 Organisation and Committees at Schule Schloss Salem o 8.1 Schule Schloss Salem e.V.

Locations [Edit] Today, Schule Schloss Salem consists of three school levels, the Lower School Burg Hohenfels, Middle School Schloss Salem and Upper School at the two locations in Überlingen, i.e. at Schloss Spetzgart and the campus in Härlen which was inaugurated in the year 2000. A total of 650 pupils attend the Salem schools altogether, whereby 95% of them are boarders; there is a balanced number of boys and girls; approximately 25% of the pupils come from abroad. History[Edit] 1920 to 1933 [Edit]

Schloss Salem (south view) in the municipality of Salem Gemeinde Salem On 20th April, 1920 Max von Baden (1867–1929), the last Imperial Chancellor in imperial Germany, the politician and educationalist, Kurt Hahn and the Privy Councillor Geheimrat, Karl Reinhardt. As a result of their personal experience gained during the Imperial epoch Kaiserreiches the founders defined Salem's political mission as an education for learning how to assume responsibility. The aim was to educate a new intellectual elite in Germany after the lost war. In the twenties and thirties, additional school levels were founded near Salem Castle. These additional locations still influence the structure of Salem's educational profile, as they provide the opportunity for an education appropriate to the age and needs of the pupils, e.g. the Lower School at Hohenfels (founded in 1931) or the Upper School at Schloss Spetzgart (founded in 1928, which today is one of the two Salem College locations).

Schloss Spetzgart in Überlingen 1933 to 1945 [Edit] During the period of National Socialism, Salem experienced a difficult phase. Kurt Hahn who was a Jew, had already been arrested in March 1933 and had to emigrate to Great Britain in July of that year. There he contributed decisively towards founding the boarding school Gordonstoun in Scotland. In August 1941, Salem came under the control of the inspectorate of the German boarding schools, and the SS took over the direction and supervision of the School. In July 1945 the Salem schools were disbanded. 1945 to 1970 [Edit] In November 1945, Salem was re-opened under the management of Marina Ewald - who had influenced Salem since the school had been founded - and with the support of Berthold von Baden. The other sections of the school followed during the next few years. In 1950 the Alumni Association, Altsalemer Vereinigung (ASV) was founded. During the next few years up until the sixties, the School was successfully consolidated under the various headmasters Georg Wilhelm von Hannover, Axel von dem Bussche, Horst Freiherr von Gersdorff and Hartwig von Bernstorff. After the Second World War Kurt Hahn participated in founding the following schools which are oriented towards his educational principles: • 1949, Anavryta, Greece • 1949: The Louisenlund Foundation Stiftung Louisenlund in Germany • 1955: Battisborough, England • 1959: Rannoch, Scotland • 1959: Box Hill, England • 1965: Athenian School, USA Another significant school foundation additionally influenced by Kurt Hahn is that of the Atlantic College which was opened in Wales in August 1962 with 54 pupils. Atlantic College is the founding school of the United World College movement; with its international education and social commitment its main objective is to teach pupils how to learn tolerance and social responsibility.[2] On Kurt Hahn's 80th birthday in June 1966, the Round Square Conference which was named after a building at Gordonstoun, was founded. This international affiliation of boarding schools throughout the world laid the foundation stone for the internationality which, today, finds its expression at Salem in the form of the International Baccalaureate, a school with pupils and teachers from many nations and a well-organised system of worldwide student exchange programmes.

The school locations in Härlen and Spetzgart in Überlingen Since 1970 [Edit] Despite Salem's difficult economic situation in the early seventies, the Salem College Upper School level in Spetzgart was modelled under the direction of Ilse Lichtenstein-Rother and from 1974 onwards under the direction of Bernhard Bueb. In addition, a further development of the other school levels took place. Kurt Hahn accompanied this development up until his death in 1974. In the mid-eighties, Salem was in a threatening position due to a disagreement with the Margrave family and the termination of the rights of use of Schloss Salem. In 1996 an agreement was reached between the Margrave family and the school with a long-term rental and leasing agreement. With the support of the Alumni Association, Altsalemer Vereinigung, and the Board of Schule Schloss Salem e.V., the Management of Schule Schloss Salem undertook the expansion of the Upper School level in the late nineties by building Salem International College in Überlingen. With an expenditure of approximately DM 70 million, the founding of Salem International College has been the largest private school-building project in Germany up until today (realised by Arno Lederer, Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir and Marc Oei, Stuttgart). In 2005, Dr. Bernhard Bueb as Principal of Schule Schloss Salem and Dieter Plate as Director of Studies stepped down from their offices after more than 30 years. Ingrid Sund took over the post of Principle and Pelham Lindfield-Roberts became Head of the Upper School. The internal reorganisation soon led to tension in the Executive Committee (Leitungsgremium). After only nine months, the school Board announced its separation from Lindfield-Roberts in May 2006. In the summer of the same year Sund also resigned from her position and changed to the Urspringschule. The Board of Schule Schloss Salem e.V. (Internatsverein) was then reconstituted. After a re-orientation phase without a Principle, Prof. Dr. Dr. Eva Marie Haberfellner then filled this position on 1st January, 2007. The term of Eva Marie Haberfellner was initially planned as an interim arrangement; however, due to the difficulty in finding a suitable Principle, her term was extended until 31st August, 2011. In the spring of 2010 it was announced that as from 1st September, 2010 Monika Zeyer-Müller would be taking over the School Management. The headmistress of the Alexander-von-Humboldt-Gymnasium in Schweinfurt was the subject of criticism at her own school.[3] Frau Zeyer-Müller, daughter of the former State Premier of Saarland Werner Zeyer, emphasised that she would take a neutral stand at Schloss Salem as regards party politics and let her CSU membership rest.[4] This personnel decision also gave rise to criticism[5][6][7][8] and after some weeks it was revoked to the applause of the staff.[9][10]A damaged image was to be avoided in this way.[11] Due to this personnel issue, the Board and Supervisory Board of the school both stood down as one body.[12] The costs for cancelling the contract were far below the rumours originally circulating of Euro 500,000 and 1 million and according to information given by the school, clearly below a tenth of this maximum amount.[13][14]

As a result of the interest in the media concerning the abuse scandal at boarding schools, the school's former Principle, Bueb, reported on cases of abuse at Salem, in March 2010.[16] The School Management proactively carried out awareness measures and every single case of suspicion in the past was followed up. It so turned out that the cases had happened a long time beforehand, that the School had reacted rigorously and had immediately dismissed the personnel in each case. Since Eva Marie Haberfellner's resignation in August, the two other members already appointed in the threesome of the School Management, Brigitte Mergenthaler-Walter and Christian Niederhofer, jointly took over the tasks of Principle. In October 2011 Bernd Westermeyer was appointed Principle of Schule Schloss Salem. Since 2007 Bernd Westermeyer has been Headmaster of the Landesschule Pforta and will be taking up his new duties on 1st August, 2012 at the latest. Well-known former students at Salem [Edit]

This concept had already been drawn up by Kurt Hahn in 1930 for the schools he had founded, in his so-called Seven Laws of Salem Sieben Salemer Gesetze. The Salem Services, handicraft, sport, music, theatre, experiential education Erlebnispädagogika, a wide variety of workgroups Arbeitsgemeinschaften, and last but not least, the experience of attending a boarding school are combined with the schooling for fulfilling Salem's aspiration for a comprehensive upbringing and education. During the seventies and eighties, the school had to fight against learning performance and disciplinary problems within the student body under its Principle, Bernhard Bueb. Since many of the pupils came from privileged families, Salem gained the reputation of being a custodial institution for neglected teenagers from affluent families. Due to this impression, Bueb turned to distinctly more conservative ideas and carried out a more consequential pedagogical style, oriented more strongly towards learning performance and authority, which he expounded after his term as Principle in his book Lob der Disziplin (in Praise of Discipline), published in 2006. Children and teenagers should not only experience attention and encouragement from their teachers, but also clearly-defined demands and consistency, so as to ensure that all their talents can develop and that they learn how to assume responsibility. Bueb lamented the discrediting of authority after the experiences gained during National Socialism. Fear plays a positive role in education, as the fear of being punished increases one's respect for rules and limits. These opinions were strongly criticised by the public. In concrete terms, Salem introduced considerably more stringent measures for control in the nineties, e.g. for alcohol, drugs, and punishments that even included expulsion. The quality of the schooling now plays an increasingly important role as compared with the years when the school was founded. The introduction of the IB system, the percentage of international students and teachers, and the scholarship policy developed in the eighties serve the aim of raising the educational level and enriching the schooling and boarding-school life with a multifaceted student community that is willing to work hard. The School provides an annual sum of Euro 2.1 million for promoting young talents.[1]In Salem students and staff from more than 30 countries live and work together. The latest educational developments: In 2009 the boarding school introduced a voluntary, additional year abroad as part of the eight-year grammar-school education. After taking the intermediate grammar-school examination, the students are able to attend a well-known High School in the USA [15] from mid-August to the end of February; afterwards they can then prepare for the Upper School level from March to July at Salem. Since September 2010 musically talented students have been able to study at the State University of Music in Trossingen, parallel to their schooling at Salem.

University entrance qualifying examinations [Edit] Salem is a state-recognised grammar school at which both the German Abitur (university entrance qualifying examination according to the law in Baden-Württemberg) and the International Baccalaureate in the English language (IB), can be taken. A stream specially developed at Salem in the English language can be taken from Form 8 up until the IB.

Fees [Edit] The fees for boarders are calculated for the respective school year, and for internal students they lie at the moment (for the school year 2011/2012) at approx. Euro 30,000 per year.[17] Organisation and Committees at Schule Schloss Salem[Edit] Overview – Organisational Structure Vorstand Board Aufsichtsrat Supervisory Board Nominierungsausschuss Nomination committee Gäste (Regel) Guests (regular) Kuratorium Board of Trustees Geschäftsführung School Management Wahl Election Vorsitz Chairman Aktuell 53 Mitglieder Currently 53 members Vorsitz Elternbeirat Chairman Parents' Council Träger der Schule School sponsor Gesamtleitung Principle Estate owners Studienleitung Director of Studies Anteile Shares Päd.

Schule Schloss Salem e.V., Internatsverein - the registered society of Schule Schloss Salem [Edit] Traditionally, the School is not sponsored by the state but by the non-profit-making society, Schule Schloss Salem e. V. This is mainly composed of former students of the school. This society can elect new members; however, according to the statute of 2nd May, 2009 the right to submit proposals for it lies with a nomination committee consisting of three persons, which also makes proposals for the election of the Board of the Society and for the school Board of Trustees (Kuratorium). The Board of Schule Schloss Salem e.V. consists of five Board members who are elected in the Assembly (Vollversammlung) for a term of three years in each case. The members of the Board are liable according to the regulations of the law of companies Vereinsrecht. In June 2010 Robert Leicht was elected in Frankfurt am Main as the new Chairman of the Board of Schule Schloss Salem e.V.. The new elections of the Committee had become necessary, as the Board of the society had resigned after the failure to fill the position of the Principle on 17th April, 2010. Leicht was a student at Schule Schloss Salem from 1954 to 1963.[18] Schule Schloss Salem gemeinnützige Betriebsgesellschaft mbH [Edit] In 2009, Schule Schloss Salem e.V. had transferred the operative work of the school to a non-profit 'GmbH' (a German form of limited liability company), i.e. the "Schule Schloss Salem gGmbH" in which it holds 100% of the shares. The Board of Schule Schloss Salem e.V. is, in personal union, the Supervisory Board of "Schule Schloss Salem gGmbH". The appointment or dismissal of the three Managing Directors of this gGmbH, i.e. also of the Principle of the school is the task of the Supervisory Board according to § 11 of the statute. The Management of Schule Schloss Salem gGmbH consists of the administrative Managing Director, Christian Niederhofer and the Director of Studies, Brigitte Mergenthaler-Walter. The currently vacant position of Principle will be filled once again on 1st September, 2012. Schule Schloss Salem e.V.has a Board of Trustees (Kuratorium) in which the Prince of Baden and Günther Oettinger are two of the members. Other non-school committees [Edit] The Friends and Supporters Association of Schule Schloss Salem e.V. Vereinigung der Förderer der Schule Schloss Salem e.V. (Förderverein) finances and realises projects that support Salem's educational concept. Parents, colleagues and friends of Schule Schloss Salem belong to the Friends and Supporters Association. The non-profit Kurt Hahn Foundation Kurt-Hahn-Stiftung provides financial support in the form of scholarships for enabling talented children to attend the school. The Salem Alumni Association Altsalemer Vereinigung (ASV) comprises former Salem students from all the school years.

Further Information [Edit] Salem belongs to the Round Square Conference, an international union of more than 80 boarding schools with a common objective. These schools run help projects and maintain an active global student exchange programme. The foundation of the boarding schools Schule Birklehof and Louisenlund (1949) was modelled on Salem. The school is a member of the network of schools Schulverbund 'Blick über den Zaun' (A look over the fence). Schule Schloss Salem has a partnership with the Tsinhua High School in Peking.[19] Literature [Edit] • Anja Pielorz: Werte und Wege der Erlebnispädagogik Schule Schloß Salem.

Several places in the article look like thinly veiled sales talk. ("The school’s mission continues to reflect its Hahnian roots. Specifically, Salem aims to present young people with high academic and extracurricular expectations and opportunities; and to introduce them to a lifelong sense of respect for the individual, responsibility to the community and an awareness of the importance of the democratic process in sustaining both." is just ridiculous.) I don't know enough of the subject nor German to decide what to keep but as a whole, this text could use serious trimming. --Ehitaja (talk) 22:13, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
