Johann Konrad Zuberbühler was a son of Bartholome Zuberbühler and Barbara Bruderer. In 1823 he married Maria Schläpfer, a daughter of Georg Leonhard Schläpfer . Zuberbühler came to Burgdorf in 1800 on a children's transport from the areas that were affected by the war-related rise in prices . There he attended the Pestalozzi Institute and the city school from 1800 to 1806 . From 1806 to 1807 he studied at the Pestalozzi Institute in Yverdon . He then worked as a private tutor in Morges until around 1816, as well as at the Tobler Educational Institution and the Mülhausen private school . He then worked at the Fellenberg Institute in Hofwil until 1820 , setting up a branch in Diemerswil . From 1820 to 1822 Zuberbühler also built the Trogen Educational Institution, which later became the Trogen Cantonal School . From 1822 to 1827 he taught at the newly founded secondary school Heiden , and in 1828 he opened his own boys' education institution in Gais.
