biography
His father, Jakob († 1894) was a businessman and ran a shirt factory with his brothers Eduard (1829–1901) and Hermann. One of Paul's cousins was the lyric poet Alfred Mombert .
Paul Mombert studied economics in Heidelberg, Leipzig, Berlin and Munich. Since this was not yet established as an independent university subject, the course had to include additional subjects, whereby he chose history and law. In 1902 he was at Lujo Brentano Dr. oec. publ. PhD. In 1906 he completed his habilitation at the University of Freiburg and received the license to teach economics, finance and statistics at the Faculty of Law and Political Science. Here he worked initially as a private lecturer and from 1911 as an associate professor.
Inspired by Brentano, he dealt with population theory and politics, and now through his colleague Karl Diehl with dogma-historical, economic theory and financial studies.
In 1922 he was appointed to the chair of economics at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen as the successor to August Skalweit . With Friedrich Lenz and associate professor Ernst Günther, he built up a modern economic teaching and research company from Étienne Laspeyre's former statistical institute.
In 1933 he was dismissed as a result of the law to restore the civil service and, with the support of the rector, retired the following year. He was able to publish in Germany until 1937, most recently in Hungary . Despite serious illness, he was imprisoned on November 9, 1938 as part of the November pogroms , where he died shortly after his release.
His book Demölkerungslehre (1929) was recognized as a standard work on population history and population theory, both in and outside of Germany.
