Life
After studying sociology, psychology and philosophy at the University of Frankfurt from 1950 to 1958, Werner Mangold began his academic career as a research assistant at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt with Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno . There he turned early to the field of empirical social research , which is still his scientific interest today. The work that was done then on the method of group discussion has given qualitative social research important impulses that continue to the present day.

In 1968 he followed a call to the newly established Institute for Sociology at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. The establishment of the institute was an achievement by Werner Mangold. He contributed to the establishment of social science research. His commitment was to industrial sociology . The development of this subject was significantly influenced by him.

Other calls followed, such as to the University of Konstanz .
After his retirement in 1992, Werner Mangold continued to take an active part in sociological research.
