This educational goal has guided us for a hundred years. For us, it means giving our pupils the supportive framework they need to enrich their knowledge in a sustainable way, to learn to make responsible decisions and to act to the best of their knowledge.
Enrich knowledge sustainably.
Learning instead of teaching – for us, students with their passion and curiosity are at the centre of our teaching design. You decide where you want to focus your learning, and we support and guide you. At Schloss Neubeuern you will find the space and time to develop your talent and become more enthusiastic about a subject of your choice. Learning can be really fun – both outdoors and indoors – through exciting projects, through your own experiences and through shared experiences with friends.
Make responsible decisions.
A healthy sense of self and responsible thinking and behaviour are the prerequisites for a successful path into business. With us, you learn to go through life in a self-determined way. Whether as a firefighter or an ambitious company founder – in Neubeuern we learn from each other – we learn how it feels to take responsibility, to help people and the environment and to stand up for nature out of conviction.
Act to the best of your knowledge.
With wisdom and practical knowledge, you will find your strength of character at Schloss Neubeuern so that you can apply what you have learnt with courage, self-confidence and assertiveness, taking into account all aspects of human and natural events.
Through your ability to “read”, understand and convince others, you will use your knowledge for yourself and others in a targeted manner and apply it conscientiously.
As part of our worldwide network, you can build cultural knowledge bridges to the images of many generations. Trust your ideas – you yourself are the best testimony to this.

What motivates our employees
Relationships characterise our work here at the castle. Not only between our pupils. Our colleagues also form a community that pulls together. I particularly like the fact that we support each other and fulfil our tasks in a natural cooperation. As the person responsible for human resources, it is important to me to find the right people for our team and to ensure that we can fulfil our tasks well and with pleasure.
In my time at Schloss Neubeuern so far, I have learnt a lot from and about people. One of the most important things I have learnt is that people achieve more together than alone and can therefore overcome difficult situations. Everyone needs good friends and allies to be happy, courageous and strong. Our students find friends and allies for life at Schloss Neubeuern – something I particularly realise at our alumni reunions. Schloss Neubeuern is not just a school where you spend a few years and graduate, but a place you can return to again and again throughout your life. Together with my team, I work every day to lay the foundations for our children and young people for their future lives and to mould them with the right values and attitudes.
Like every organisation and every company, Schloss Neubeuern has gone through difficult times time and again in its hundred years of existence. But I have never experienced a foundation of friendship and solidarity as strong as ours. It means a great deal to me to be able to play my part in ensuring that our students can continue to find their footing on this foundation for the next hundred years and thus develop into upright, responsible people – which our world urgently needs.
What do I like to get up for in the morning? For our pupils. I love working with children and young adults – giving them a good feeling so that they feel they are in good hands. What is particularly important to me? Being a role model for the pupils – giving them support and security, taking them by the hand, listening to them. And taking a closer look at how they feel and what they need. I find it particularly nice when I receive a small thank-you from pupils. For the last St Nicholas’ Day, I even received a letter in which they thanked me for always being there for them. That really touched me.
Starting out in our fascinating castle and the wonderful surroundings brought me many friends for life through sporting encounters with young people. Our learning environment provides the ideal conditions, even beyond the classroom, to give our young people valuable experience for their education and their future lives. A formative encounter with an aristocratic contemporary witness from the founding period of our school awakened my interest in the rich history of the castle and the school. The quote from our long-time guest at the castle, Hugo von Hofmannsthal: “There is more of the past in the present than one realises” became more and more clear to me, especially when I began to study the castle’s unique guest books, and became a passion that will not leave me even after my time at the castle.
