Lilla Rehbinder

Countess Juliane von Rehbinder

Lilla Rehbinder (born October 5, 1847 in Reval ; † October 30, 1918 in Altenburg ) was an educator who ran a highly frequented boarding school for girls in Karlsruhe in the 19th century .

Life

Countess Juliana Gabriele Henriette Amalia von Rehbinder, daughter of Nicolai Rehbinder , grew up in the Baltic city of Hapsal . She was brought up in the Finn monastery , where emphasis was placed on the fact that the pupils did not develop any classiness. Also because of her family situation, Lilla Rehbinder was alienated from the usual professional conventions early on. Once one of the richest families of the Estonian nobility, the Count Rehbinder were impoverished by Lilla Rehbinder's grandfather. Her mother was therefore employed, which was highly unusual for her time and her circles.

Lilla Rehbinder became head of a school she founded in Mitau in 1872 . The Grand Duchess Luise of Baden , daughter of Emperor Wilhelm I , recalled her from Mitau in 1874 when she was looking for a director for a boarding school in Mannheim , which was under her patronage. The choice fell on Countess Rehbinder , presumably on the recommendation of Minna von Ungern-Sternberg , her former prioress in the Finn monastery. From 1876 Lilla Rehbinder ran a boarding school for girls in Karlsruhe. The pupils came from different classes and belonged to different religions. In order not to reveal differences in class in clothing, the girls called "partridges" wore uniform pink in summer and light blue in winter. Contemporary witnesses like Monika Hunnius and Lita zu Putlitz later reported that Lilla Rehbinder was loved and adored.

In 1881 she married the pastor Gustav Schlosser , with whom she had a daughter Julie , who later wrote a biography of her mother. After the wedding, she gave up the boarding school in Karlsruhe and moved to Frankfurt am Main . After Gustav Schlosser died and her daughter became a teacher at Miss Seeberg and Cachin's secondary school , she moved with her to Altenburg in Thuringia, where she died in 1918.
