Abstract

With no prospect for an academic position, Gerth moved to Berlin soon after he had lost his job in Kiel. As mentioned before, all his effort to go to London did not bear fruit. It was urgent for him to find a job to support himself. By February 1, 1934, he was settled in a boarding house on An der Jerusalemer Kirche in Berlin.

Er Schreibt vorzüglich und verbindet grosse Vielseitigkeit der Interessen mit grosser Gründlichkeit und allgemeinen Kenntnissen. Seine Interessen bewegen sich vor allem auf dem Gebiete der Volkswirtschaft, der Soziologie und Geschichte, aber er hat auch literarische Neigungen. Er ist mit dem “Berliner Tageblatt” auch nach seinem Asuscheiden in engster Verbindung geblieben. Sein Ausscheiden hing lediglich mit organisatorischen Notwendigkeiten zusammen… Wir wünschen ihm auf seiner Laufbahn die ausgezeichneten Erfolge, die er verdient.”
