history

Salecina

Founding years

Theo Pinkus and Amalie Pinkus founded the “Salecina” foundation in 1972. The aim of the foundation was to enable apprentices, students and people with low incomes to take vacations and to hold educational events. In 1982 and 1983 the barn was converted into a sleeping house and the space for the seminars was expanded.

Originally there was no manager, but self-administration failed. A council was formed which, from the mid-1970s, employed a manager to organize the business.

Today four people are employed in the management.

monitoring

In January 1972, the Swiss authorities opened a so-called Fiche about Salecina in Bern . By 1989, thirteen cards were written on both sides with brief summaries of the associated reports.

Economic influence

According to the times , Salecina had become “a considerable economic factor” for “the municipality of Maloja” by 1993. As the TAZ reported in 2001, the foundation had difficulties in attaining the ten thousand visitors a year necessary for economic preservation.

public perception

According to the times , “rural life” in Maloja “has given way to a multilingual society that is still viewed with suspicion by the locals”. The fact that Salecina wants to be a socialist center of gentle, nature-friendly tourism is a utopia that has long since come under the wheels elsewhere.

Three women leaders were portrayed in the book “Women and Mountains” by Florence Hervé .
