Wolfgang Hartke was professor at the Institute from 1952 until 1975. He develops the field geography to a more social relevant research. His students Jörg Maier, Karl Ruppert, Reinhard Paesler and Franz Schaffer develops the concept of Wolfgang Hartke to a social geographical approach, directed with the focus on the “Daseinsgrundfunktionen” (basic principles of existence) of social gropes.
