history
After the once famous Bad Schönbrunn spa could no longer assert itself after the First World War , it was acquired by an association in 1929 and run by Jesuits . Fathers gave Ignatian retreats in the rooms to various social and age groups .
The requirements of the emerging adult education later showed that the home furnishings were no longer sufficient. The bath building was demolished and in its place from 1968 to 1970, under the direction of Josef Stierli , an educational house composed by the Zurich architect André M. Studer according to the harmonious construction was built. The glass windows in the chapels were made by Ferdinand Gehr . Diverse and demand-oriented religious educational opportunities gave the house a great charisma.
The facility in Bad Schönbrunn has been a listed building since 2013.
Surname
In 1993 Niklaus Brantschen SJ repositioned the educational facility as a competence center for spirituality and interreligious dialogue and named it Lassalle-Haus. Hugo Makibi Enomiya Lassalle SJ is considered a pioneer of the Buddhist-Christian dialogue and a renewer of spirituality. After Niklaus Brantschen SJ and Pia Gyger ktw were appointed Zen masters, they founded the Glassman Lassalle Zen line in 1999 and the Via integralis school of contemplation in 2003 , which combines Eastern spirituality and Christian mysticism .
Christian Rutishauser SJ , who has been building up the Judeo-Christian dialogue in the Lassalle House since 2000 , headed this institution from 2007 to October 2009. From November 2009 he was replaced by Tobias Karcher SJ.
