Eugene Kolisko

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugen Kolisko (born March 21, 1893 in Vienna , † November 29, 1939 in London ) was an Austrian anthroposophist , doctor and Waldorf teacher .

Life

Eugen Kolisko grew up in a family of doctors in Vienna. His father was the later Councilor appointed pathologist Alexander Kolisko , his mother Amalie Kolisko, nee Baroness von Eschenburg, a pianist . Through his school friend Walter Johannes Stein he got to know anthroposophy early: he first heard Rudolf Steiner's lectures in 1914 and became a member of the Anthroposophical Society . In 1917 he completed his medical studies and became a lecturer in medicinal chemistry at the University of Vienna .

In 1920 he was hired by Emil Molt as a teacher and school doctor at the newly founded Waldorf School in Stuttgart . In addition, he worked, mostly together with his wife Lili Kolisko , as an employee of various anthroposophical specialist courses, and from 1924 with Ita Wegman at the Medical Section at the Goetheanum . His wife Lili is considered to be the founder of the climbing image method , a process of image-creating methods in anthroposophically oriented research. Eugen Kolisko took part in the development of various artistic therapies such as eurythmy therapy , anthroposophical music therapy and healing singing (according to Werbeck-Svärdström ).

The arguments after Steiner's death led to Koliskos being dismissed from the Stuttgart Waldorf School in 1934 and to separation from the Anthroposophical Society in 1935. In 1936 he emigrated to England, where he wanted to found an anthroposophical university.

Eugen Kolisko died at the age of 47 during a train ride to London.
