description | The article pursues the emergence and rupture of German sociology between its beginning in the 19th century and 1933. It focuses on the University in Berlin which, founded in 1810, became the hub in Germany’s university world. The early phase was significantly shaped by Gustav Schmoller who was typically a reformist-minded economist (of the “Historical School”). In its further disciplinary unfolding sociology was promoted by a cohort of scholars among whom Max Weber, Georg Simmel and Werner Sombart excelled. After flourishing during the 1920s it was “brutally terminated” (René König) in 1933 when the Nazis seized power driving almost the entire generation of sociologists into exile or “inner emigration”. Since 1933 a new cohort of social scientists occupied the university scene that was ready to serve the Nazi rulers, with an institute at Berlin University, linked to the SS leadership, playing a particularly pernicious role. |
