Franz Wilhelm Jerusalem
Franz Wilhelm Jerusalem (born June 21, 1883 in Uerdingen , † August 29, 1970 in Munich ) was a German sociologist and legal scholar.
Life
Jerusalem was an associate professor for international law and auxiliary sciences under public law, for general sociology and for legal and state sociology at the University of Jena from 1918 onwards . Jerusalem hosted the third sociology day in Jena in 1922. He was a member of the German Society for Sociology . Together with his assistant Reinhard Höhn , he organized another sociologist meeting in Jena in 1934, at which Ferdinand Tönnies as president and Leopold von Wiese as managing director of the German Society for Sociology were ousted, which was necessary to bring the sociologists into line .
Like some colleagues of his time, Jerusalem also worked on a closed sociological system. His revolved around the term “ community ”, but it turned out to be sterile for scientific development. After 1933, however, this systematic approach could be used politically for a “German sociology”. Nevertheless, Jerusalem stuck to its theory after 1945, but played a subordinate role as an academic sociologist (as in the Weimar Republic ).
Jerusalem joined the NSDAP on May 1, 1937 after the ban on membership was lifted . After 1945 he taught at the universities in Frankfurt am Main and Munich . His work Administrative Law and the New State (Frommann, Jena 1935) was placed on the list of literature to be segregated in the Soviet occupation zone ; in the German Democratic Republic , this list was followed by the legality of the administration or the legality of the administration? (Frommann, Jena 1938) and Der Staat (Fischer, Jena 1935).
