In the beginning, Gleichmann made empirical contributions to urban sociology , worked on tourism problems and formulated sociological architecture criticism . From the late 1970s he was (alongside Hermann Korte ) significantly involved in the reception of Norbert Elias's work in Germany. This also resulted in his contacts in Amsterdam, where Norbert Elias spent the last years of his life and creativity and where Elias' student Johan Goudsblom taught, with whom Gleichmann and Korte published studies on Elias sociology ( figurative sociology ).
