Leopold von Wiese (1876-1969) was a German sociologist and economist, as well as professor and chairman of the German Sociological Association. == Biography == Leopold von Wiese was the only son of a prematurely deceased Prussian officer and received his education at the cadet schools in Wahlstatt and Lichterfelde. After leaving the cadet corps, he then studied economics at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin where he got his Ph.D. in 1902. Subsequently, he was scientific secretary of the "Institute for the common good" (''Institut für Gemeinwohl'') in Frankfurt. In 1905, he was Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Berlin. 1906 he was appointed professor of political science at the Royal Academy in Posen; in 1908 he joined as a professor of economics and business economics at the Technical University of Hanover. 1912 he became director of studies at the "Academy for Local Government" (''Akademie für kommunale Verwaltung'') in Düsseldorf, and in 1915 he became a professor at the Graduate School of Cologne (''Handelshochschule Köln''). After the First World War in 1919, he became Director at the "Research Institute for Social Sciences" (''Forschungsinstitut für Sozialwissenschaften'') in Cologne and Professor of Economic and Political Sciences of sociology at the University of Cologne (refounded in 1919). He had thus held the first chair of sociology in Germany.
