Portrait of Gustav von Schönberg, Tübingen Professorengalerie collection

Gustav Friedrich Schönberg , from 1877 von Schönberg , (* July 21, 1839 in Stettin ; † January 3, 1908 in Tübingen ) was a German economist .

Life

Schönberg studied law and politics at the Universities of Bonn and Berlin . After successfully completing this course, he was accepted into the civil service in 1860 and advanced to court assessor just five years later. Schönberg was friends with Ferdinand Lassalle , the co-founder of the social democratic movement in Germany.

Then Schönberg worked at the seminar of the Prussian statistical office until 1867. In this function, he took a position as a lecturer in economics at the Prussian Agricultural Institute in Proskau in 1867 , where he was, among other things, significantly involved in the establishment of several agricultural cooperatives in Silesia.

In the autumn of 1868 Schönberg accepted a position as a full professor of economics at the University of Basel and in 1870 switched to the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in the same subject . Three years later he was brought to the University of Tübingen . There Schönberg not only worked as a full professor of political science, but also as rector from 1885 to 1886 and from 1900 as successor to Carl Heinrich Weizsäcker also as chancellor for a few years, which was associated with a mandate in the Württemberg Chamber of Deputies until 1906 . From 1887 to 1891 he was among other things the editor of the Tübingen journal for the entire political science ; a task that Schönberg performed together with Albert Schäffle , Carl Fricker and Adolph Wagner . After the early death of the mayor of Tübingen, Julius Gös , Gustav von Schönberg was from October 19, 1897 to December 31, 1897 who held the municipal school authority until Hermann Haußer took office .

The Verein für Socialpolitik found a committed employee in Schönberg who was vehemently committed to the concerns of the disadvantaged and the solution of the workers' question .
