history

The treeless hill Auf der Warth was planted with a park-like forest during the time of Duke Eberhard Ludwig and connected to the Ludwigsburg palace garden by the Königsallee. The afforestation of this area should take place as quickly as possible. Therefore, trees were procured that had already grown as tall as possible. Among other things, 3000 hagbucks were taken from the Beilsteiner Stadtwald and 6000 from the Prevorst forest, together with the soil in which they were rooted, and they were transplanted to the place where the Salonwald was to arise.

Around 1750, Duke Karl built two “salons” on this hill for festivities. These festival buildings have not been preserved. In 1805, Councilor Volz had a garden hall built there instead, which later became the property of Elector Friedrich . He gave it to his daughter Katharina von Württemberg , who named the property Katharinenpläsier . Later in private ownership again, the property was then built on with an inn with a dance hall. In 1837 the Paulus family from Korntal took over the property. This family had already been running an educational institution founded by Beate Paulus in Korntal for two years, but was unable to expand the institution there.

From 1837 to 1879 the Scientific Educational Institute at the Salon was in operation. After Beate Paulus 'death in 1842, her sons Philipp and Wilhelm continued to run the institution, and Beate Paulus' son-in-law Christoph Hoffmann also taught there. In 1848 Hoffmann became a member of the National Assembly in Frankfurt am Main .

In the institution, which was also attended by boys from far-flung regions such as South Africa and Russia , Christian upbringing was given the highest value. The boys were not taught class by class, but in courses that were put together according to performance. Every year exams were taken before a state commission. The teachers were recruited from the Paulus family whenever possible: The director Philipp Paulus taught philosophy and Hebrew, Christoph Paulus taught French and natural sciences, among other things. In 1844 there were twelve teachers and 90 students at the institution.

During the Franco-Prussian War , the school buildings served as a hospital . A field hospital for French officers was set up in the Salonwald. A few years later, as Oscar Paret reports, the institution “came to an inglorious end. At this time, the pupils became somewhat dissatisfied with the food, which was joined by the desire for greater freedom. There was uproar and open resistance. ”With police help, the brothers Paulus and their colleagues were able to prevail against the students again, but the“ desire to continue working ”, according to Paret, was shaken after these incidents. Presumably by this time the teaching staff was already quite old. The educational institution was dissolved in 1879.

A men's hospital was then housed in their building, because on the Karlshöhe, in the immediate vicinity, another educational institution, the Mathildenstift , had already settled three years before the end of the Scientific Educational Institute at the Salon . This institution also included a fraternity for the service of the Inner Mission . The Karlshöhe Foundation bought the Paulussche institute building and converted it into a home for single men in need of care. In 1906 the hamlets Salon and Karlshöhe were separated from Kornwestheim and added to the municipality of Ludwigsburg.

The Karlshöhe Foundation, to which the house and grounds were sold after the dissolution of the Wissenschaftliche Bildungsanstalt am Salon , continues to operate an elderly care facility in the Haus am Salon .
