Life

After attending grammar schools in Gütersloh and Soest , he studied law and philology in Tübingen , Munich , Berlin and Göttingen . He was later a local judge in Barmen and a local judge. He refused the appointment as district court director in Cologne .

From 1886 to 1888 he represented the constituency of Lennep - Solingen in the Prussian House of Representatives . He was also a member of the Reichstag in the seventh electoral term from 1887 . There he represented the constituency of Altena - Iserlohn . He belonged to the national liberal party .

In addition, he wrote political and economic articles and brochures. In 1883 “Das deutsche Volkstum und seine Zukunft” appeared. In 1884 his book "Bismarck als Reformer des Deutschen Geistes" was published. In it he spoke out in favor of state activity to solve the social question . "The distribution on many shoulders, the solidarity of the victims and the help, the tight organization of the scantily allocated aids - that is the specific state idea which alone can save our people, who are powerless in material need and state-ethnographic turmoil." He described the solution to the social question as National Socialism . In 1889 his work "The moving forces of the national economy" appeared.

In 1897 he was appointed associate professor for political science at the University of Berlin . The aim was to push back the influence of the Catholic Socialists. Although he used to belong to the Catholic Socialists himself, he turned away from them. In addition, he was convinced that the Socialists of the Chair would not have pushed back Manchester liberalism in the long run. He warned of the prevalence of individualism and saw society as threatened by the fragmentation of individual interests. Instead, he advocated partnership models.

Karl Theodor Reinhold died in Berlin in 1901 at the age of 52. He was buried in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery in Charlottenburg (today's district of Berlin-Westend ). The grave has not been preserved.
