Gottfried Salomon (later Salomon-Delatour ) (born November 21, 1892 in Frankfurt am Main ; † April 27, 1964 ibid) was a German-American sociologist and economist .

Life

Salomon received his doctorate in 1916 under Georg Simmel in Strasbourg . From 1921 to 1931 he taught sociology as an associate professor at the University of Frankfurt am Main . 1925/1926 he was editor of the yearbook for sociology . In November 1928, Salomon was the founding chairman, alongside the school director Richard Oehlert , of a Franco-German society in Frankfurt. From 1925 to 1927 he published a "Yearbook for Sociology. An International Collection".

Salomon emigrated to France in 1933 because of the law to restore the professional civil service , where he was a lecturer at a Paris university and editor of the Information Economique . In 1941 Salomon fled further to the USA, where he taught as a professor at the New School for Social Research in New York from 1941 to 1943 . Here he took his mother's maiden name, Delatour, as his second surname, possibly to avoid confusion with Albert Salomon , who also taught as an emigrant in New York. In 1942 he also read at the University of Denver . During the Second World War he advised the War Department in Washington, DC In the years 1946-1950 he went as a sociology professor at Columbia University . Salomon returned to Frankfurt as a university teacher in 1958, where he died in 1964.

Theodor W. Adorno and Walter Benjamin were among his Frankfurt students in the 1920s, and Otthein Rammstedt was among his students after 1958 .

The Salomon-Delatours estate is in the Bielefeld University Archives and in the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam.
