The picturesque landscape of the Chiemgau offers our students an inspiring environment in which they can experience nature and culture up close. Schloss Stein is therefore not only a place of learning, but also a place where history comes alive.
"Kids, we're making a school! Who's coming?"
Ilse Wiskott | Founder - Quote on the founding of the school
Archaeologists found a Bronze Age burial ground and Celtic arrowheads on the castle grounds, which bear witness to early settlement. Built in the 13th century, the stronghold is home to historical treasures such as the cave castle and a hermit's hermitage. The history of the castle complex is interwoven with the legend of the robber baron Heinz von Stein, who is said to have wreaked havoc here in the wild times without an emperor. A rich saga that goes back to the time of the Carolingians.
The early years of the boarding school were shaped by Ilse and Max Wiskott, who started a boarding school and school initiative for their daughter Isolde in 1948. Ilse Wiskott played a key role in shaping the school with her personal commitment and dedication until her death in 1964.
Under the management of Olaf Ziegler (here with his wife Angelika Ziegler), the school experienced a social upheaval in the 1960s. In 1976, under Dr. Peter Wabra, the school succeeded in gaining state recognition and converting the old language branch into a new language and economics branch.
Since 1992, Sebastian Ziegler, the third-generation director, has played a key role in the development of the boarding school. Under his leadership, the school has increasingly opened up to international pupils, while at the same time preserving its German-speaking roots.
"It was a dream to be here from the very beginning."
