In 1922 he received his doctorate under Ernst Troeltsch on the cultural philosopher Georg Simmel .

Klemmt was aiming for a university career. He tried several times to do his habilitation , but he did not succeed. In 1928 his habilitation thesis was rejected, and in 1933 his trial lecture showed too great deficiencies.

After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, Klemmt was employed at the German School of Politics , where he taught in a decidedly National Socialist spirit.
