<a href="/wiki/Chemnitz" title="Chemnitz">Chemnitz</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Saxony" title="Kingdom of Saxony">Saxony</a>. He turned to <a href="/wiki/Social_philosophy" title="Social philosophy">social philosophy</a> and even more to sociology, as elaborated at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Leipzig" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Leipzig">University of Leipzig</a> by <a href="/wiki/Hans_Freyer" title="Hans Freyer">Hans Freyer</a> (the "<a href="/wiki/Leipzig_school_(sociology)" title="Leipzig school (sociology)">Leipzig School</a>"). Having earned his doctorate in 1935 (thesis [tr.]: <i>The theory of community in the 1796 <a href="/wiki/Natural_law" title="Natural law">natural law</a> by <a href="/wiki/Johann_Gottlieb_Fichte" title="Johann Gottlieb Fichte">Fichte</a></i>), in 1939 he qualified as a lecturer ("<i>Habilitation</i>") with a thesis on the political thought of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes" title="Thomas Hobbes">Thomas Hobbes</a> at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_K%C3%B6nigsberg" title="University of Königsberg">University of Königsberg</a>. He was called up in 1941, so did not take up his first chair of Sociology at the (then German) <a href="/wiki/Reichsuniversit%C3%A4t_Stra%C3%9Fburg" title="Reichsuniversität Straßburg">Reichsuniversität Straßburg</a> in 1944. </p><p>After the fall of the <a href="/wiki/Third_Reich" class="mw-redirect" title="Third Reich">Third Reich</a> in 1945, Schelsky joined the <a href="/wiki/German_Red_Cross" title="German Red Cross">German Red Cross</a> and formed its effective <i>Suchdienst</i> (service to trace down missing persons).

There he headed what was then the biggest West German centre for social research, in <a href="/wiki/Dortmund" title="Dortmund">Dortmund</a>. </p><p>In 1970, Schelsky accepted the position of a professor of sociology at the newly founded <a href="/wiki/Bielefeld_University" title="Bielefeld University">Bielefeld University</a>, which created the only German full "Faculty of Sociology", as well as the "Centre of Interdisciplinarian Research" ("Zentrum für Interdisziplinäre Forschung" [ZiF] at <a href="/wiki/Rheda,_Germany" title="Rheda, Germany">Rheda</a>), planned to be a 'German Harvard'. However, his new university changed very much, due to the years of student unrest all over Europe and North America, so Schelsky returned to Münster in anger in 1973 and stayed there for another five years. He wrote several more books, against the <a href="/wiki/Utopianism" class="mw-redirect" title="Utopianism">Utopian</a> way to approach Sociology, as fostered by the <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt_School"

But Freyer also dreamt of building up a sociological think tank for the Third Reich - quite differently to most other sociologists, e. g. to the (outspoken) anti-Hitlerian <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_T%C3%B6nnies" title="Ferdinand Tönnies">Ferdinand Tönnies</a> (<a href="/wiki/University_of_Kiel" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Kiel">University of Kiel</a>) and to <a href="/wiki/Leopold_von_Wiese" title="Leopold von Wiese">Leopold von Wiese</a> (<a href="/wiki/University_of_Cologne" title="University of Cologne">University of Cologne</a>), and to the émigrés (e. g. to <a href="/wiki/Karl_Mannheim" title="Karl Mannheim">Karl Mannheim</a>, and to the up-and-coming <a href="/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_K%C3%B6nig" title="René König">René König</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Lazarsfeld" title="Paul Lazarsfeld">Paul Lazarsfeld</a>, <a href="/wiki/Norbert_Elias" title="Norbert Elias">Norbert Elias</a>, <a href="/wiki/Theodor_Adorno" class="mw-redirect" title="Theodor Adorno">Theodor Adorno</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Rudolf_Heberle&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Rudolf Heberle (page does not exist)">Rudolf Heberle</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Lewis_A._Coser" title="Lewis A. Coser">Lewis A. Coser</a>). Freyer's ambitions failed miserably, the <a href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</a> power elite monopolizing ideology, but helped the talented student Schelsky in his first career steps. </p><p>After the Second World War, Schelsky became a star of <a href="/wiki/Applied_sociology" class="mw-redirect" title="Applied sociology">applied sociology</a>, due to his great gift of anticipating social and sociological developments. He published books on the theory of <a href="/wiki/Institution" title="Institution">institutions</a>, on <a href="/wiki/Social_stratification" title="Social stratification">social stratification</a>, on the sociology of family, on the sociology of sexuality, on the sociology of youth, on <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Sociology" class="mw-redirect" title="Industrial Sociology">Industrial Sociology</a>, on the sociology of education, and on the sociology of the university system. In <a href="/wiki/Dortmund" title="Dortmund">Dortmund</a>, he made the Social Research Centre (″Sozialforschungsstelle″) a West German focus of empirical and theoretical studies, being especially gifted in finding and attracting first class social scientists, e.g. <a href="/wiki/Dieter_Claessens" title="Dieter Claessens">Dieter Claessens</a>, <a href="/wiki/Niklas_Luhmann" title="Niklas Luhmann">Niklas Luhmann</a>, and many more. </p><p>It helped that Schelsky was an outspoken liberal professor, without any ambition to create <a href="/w/index.php?title=Adherent&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Adherent (page does not exist)">adherents</a>. He helped another 17 sociologists qualify as lecturers (outnumbering in this any other professor in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and anticipated the boom in sociological chairs at German universities. Manning them, he was professionally even more successful than the outstanding remigrants <a href="/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_K%C3%B6nig" title="René König">René König</a> (Cologne) and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Otto_Stammer&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Otto Stammer (page does not exist)">Otto Stammer</a> (Berlin) - the <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt_School" title="Frankfurt School">Frankfurt School</a> starting to be of influence only after 1968. </p><p>Schelsky was able to design <a href="/wiki/Bielefeld_University" title="Bielefeld University">Bielefeld University</a> as an innovative institution of the highest academic quality, both in research and in thought. But the fact that his own university had moved away from his ideas hit him hard. His later books, criticizing ideological sociology (very much acclaimed now by conservative analysts) and on the sociology of law (quite influential in the Schools of Law) kept up his reputation as an outstanding thinker, but fell out of grace with younger sociologists. Moreover, his fascinating analyses, being of highest practical value, went out of date for the same reason; only by 2000 did new sociologists start to read him again. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Selected_bibliography">Selected bibliography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Helmut_Schelsky&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Selected bibliography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ol><li><i>Theorie der Gemeinschaft nach <a href="/wiki/Johann_Gottlieb_Fichte" title="Johann Gottlieb Fichte">Fichtes</a> "Naturrecht" von 1796</i>, 1935</li> <li><i>Christliche Metaphysik und das Schicksal des modernen Bewusstseins</i>, together with G.
