Ludwig Bernhard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Bernhard (born July 6, 1875 in Berlin ; † January 16, 1935 there ) was a German economist and university professor .

Bernhard studied political science and mechanical engineering in Berlin and Munich and completed his habilitation in Berlin. In 1904 he became a professor at the Academy in Poznan . In 1906 he was appointed full professor at the University of Greifswald , from 1907 he worked in Kiel and from 1909 in Berlin.

Bernhard emerged as an energetic critic of Prussia's Polish policy and, with his sensational writings, drew the attention of the German public to the German-Polish nationality struggle . He campaigned for a better understanding of Poland and its organizations and called for a more intensive policy of reconciliation with the Polish minority in order to integrate them in a positive way into German state and economic life. Before the First World War , Bernhard was the focus of discussion about the future of German social policy. He sharply attacked contemporary social policy by making it responsible for an allegedly rampant "pension hysteria" as a result of social security. In later years he became an employee of Alfred Hugenberg and dealt primarily with questions of the economic dictatorship and the fascist movement .
