from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Neuloh (born November 15, 1902 in Eickel ; † April 7, 1993 in Baden-Baden ) was a German sociologist and ergonomist. He was one of the initiators and founders of the social research center at the University of Münster in Dortmund.

Life

Otto Neuloh studied social and economic science at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster. He did his doctorate with Professor Heinrich Weber on the subject of “Workers Education in the New Germany” (1928). During the Weimar Republic, Neuloh was a member of the SPD , but in 1933, like many Social Democrats, he pragmatically adapted to the changed balance of power. He initially worked at the Hagen Employment Office, then from 1938 to 1939 he was a consultant for career counseling in the Vienna branch of the Reich Labor Office and from 1939 to 1941 he was director of the employment office in Eisenstadt ( Burgenland ). From 1941 to 1945 Neuloh was department head of the Sudetenland State Labor Office , where he was conscripted as a soldier in the last year of the war.

Neuloh co-founded the social research center at the University of Münster eV in Dortmund in 1946 with the social scientist Heinrich Weber and then from 1947 to 1961 scientific director and department head for sociology and social policy . This was followed by teaching positions at the University of Cologne in 1961/62 and a professorship in sociology at the Saarland University of Education in Saarbrücken from 1961 to 1967 . In 1962 Neuloh founded the Institute for Empirical Sociology (later: Institute for Applied Economic and Social Research) in Saarbrücken, which he headed until 1974.
