Der Birklehof wurde 1932 im Hochschwarzwald von Kurt Hahn als Landerziehungsheim gegründet und von Georg Picht 1946 wiedereröffnet. Erzieherische und politische Ideen dieser beiden der Reformpädagogik verpflichteten Gründer prägen bis heute die pädagogische Arbeit am Internat. Ganzheitliche Erziehung, aktives Gestalten des Gemeinschaftslebens, musische Schwerpunkte und moderner Humanismus sind einige Stichworte des pädagogischen Lebens. Zur Zeit leben im Internat ca. 20 pädagogische Mitarbeiter und 150 Schülerinnen und Schüler. Dazu kommen weitere 60 Externe aus der nahen Gegend.
