Life

He studied theology in Jena and became a pastor in 1768. From 1781 to 1784 he worked on the philanthropist founded and influenced by Johann Bernhard Basedow in Dessau . In 1784 he founded his own institution in Schnepfenthal . Salzmann's employees were here a. a. Johann Christoph Friedrich Guts Muths , as well as Johann Matthäus Bechstein . He was a member of the Freemason Lodge Ernst zum Compaß in Gotha.
In the Krebsbüchlein (1780, 3rd edition 1792) he criticized the educational practices of his time in an unusual way, which often seemed paradoxical. With his work “ Conrad Kiefer or Instructions for a Sensible Upbringing ” he became known as the German Jean-Jacques Rousseau . Similar to his Émile , Salzmann presented his romantic ideas about upbringing here.
In addition to religious education, physical training and learning new languages, moral education was particularly important to him. In many places in his writings he also dealt with the problem of gender instruction and education. In 1785 Salzmann published the first monograph on this subject: On the secret sins of youth .
Salzmann asked a prize question in 1787 What influence does the use of the lace-up chest have ? In 1788 Samuel Thomas Soemmering and in 1789 Georg Forster responded with their own writings.
Salzmann's grave can be found in the forest cemetery near Schnepfenthal.
