Philanthropinum Castle Marschlins (also philanthropist ) (from Greek  φιλος ( "friend") and ανθροπος ( "man")) is the name of a reform school of the 18th century , the 1775 to 1777 of Ulysses von Salis-Marschlins in Castle Marschlins was established .

The "Philanthropinum Schloss Marschlins"

The Philanthropinum Schloss Marschlins was set up in October 1775 as the second educational reform institution after the Philanthropinum Dessau by Ulysses von Salis-Marschlins with the support of Isaak Iselin in Marschlins Castle based on ideas by Johann Bernhard Basedow (1724–1790). The Philanthropinum was the realignment of the Haldenstein seminar led by Johann Peter Nesemann from 1771 to 1775 . The reform project failed in February 1777 due to its ambitious goals and simultaneous underfunding.

The boarding school was housed in Marschlins Castle, an originally Habsburg, later Toggenburg fortress near Landquart . At that time the castle was known as the Four Towers . The original concept envisaged the erection of four temples around the building. They should be consecrated to wisdom , virtue , history, and Christ .

The students were taught alternately in three languages ​​on a daily basis. On the first and fourth day in French , on the second and fifth day in Latin and on the third and sixth day in German .

From the beginning in October 1775 to July 1776, Karl Friedrich Bahrdt directed the school on the recommendation of Basedow . Bahrdt and von Salis fell out over the question of educational orientation. One of the sponsors of the school was Margrave Friedrich von Baden , who sent a group of students and teachers from Karlsruhe . Between autumn 1775 and February 1777 Heinrich Julius von Lindau placed his protégés Andreas Feurer and Peter in the Baumgarten boarding school as trainees in the lowest category at an annual school allowance of twenty Louis d'or .
