Origin and studies

Von Salis comes from the important Reformed Salis family and was born in 1760 to Ulysses von Salis-Marschlins and Anna Paula von Salis-Seewis.

Von Salis studied for a short time at the Philanthropinum, which was moved to Marschlins in 1771 and converted by his father in 1775 to a Philanthropinum based on the Basedow model. In 1777 the school was closed for financial reasons. From 1777–1778 von Salis studied law at the academy in Dijon , just 90 kilometers from Salins , where he was deported via Aarburg from April with other Graubünden between 1799 and 1800 by French troops. At this point he was already the Landammann, married and the father of three children.

Political offices

After his stay in Salins, he came to St. Gallen, where the hostage detention was later lifted. In 1801 von Salins was elected a member of the Bündner Tagsatzung and at that time was again Landammann of the Five Villages . In 1803 he was elected to the Graubünden Higher Appeal Court and from 1805-09 he was President of the newly formed Graubünden Medical Council.

Journalistic activity

Von Salis was interested in the natural sciences, agriculture, history and education and also maintained contacts with researchers abroad and traveled often. He wrote about his trip to Sicily and Naples from 1788–89. He also described his stay in detention, despite the fact that he was deported, he described in great detail the peculiarities of the irrigation of the French Jura.

Von Salis worked for the publications "Der Collector" and "The New Collector" and was editor of the magazine "Alpina" from 1806-09.
