description: "Alfred von Martin was a German historian and sociologist and one of the last representatives of the founding years of German sociology to teach and publish in the Federal Republic of Germany. His diagnoses of the times are based on historical sociology and cultural sociology. Alfred von Martin published scholarly texts over a period of seventy years. Von Martin was first educated on the family estate by a private tutor, Dr. A. Schlemm, an expert in classical languages and antiquity. He transferred to the humanistic Gymnasium in Görlitz for a few years before taking his final examinations. Von Martin studied history and numerous related subjects at the University of Freiburg, Heidelberg University, Leipzig University, Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin, the University of Florence, and Sapienza University of Rome, graduating with a doctorate from the University of Freiburg in 1912."
