Make Our Festschrift a Special Gift

100 years of Salem on nearly 470 pages

As 2020 draws to a close, so does the end of our jubilee year, to which we had long been looking forward and which we had all imagined differently. What we are happy about, despite the cancellation of all celebration events, is that Schule Schloss Salem has proven to be a reliable educational institution of exceptional quality during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Three other phases of upheaval, which were also mastered by the students and staff, are the subject of the commemorative volume published by Kohlhammer in April 2020. The 464-page publication also contains essays, memoirs by students and alumni, and over 250 photographs.

Please consider giving this special book to yourself or to another Salemer. It is available at a price of 49 Euro.
