The Marianne Weber Institute is a legally recognized and non-profit organization in Germany devoted to the advancement of science and culture in the Region
of Lippe.
It is particularly devoted to this advancement through intellectual and cultural exchanges between Germany and neighboring eastern European countries. Projects and programs aimed at the construction of infrastructure building measures within the scientific, cultural, and artistic realms and which are related to the common public welfare are initiated, developed, and supported.
The Marianne Weber Institute offers guest lectures, conferences, symposiums, seminars, workshops, political and artistic exhibitions,
and expert consultations and regional cross‑cultural planning with a global view.
The Department of the Social Sciences of the Marianne Weber Institute consists of its own internal organization and is
responsible for the scientific activities of the institute under the above general goals of the institute itself. It consists of working, associate, and visiting members, who, in the freedom of pursuing their
own intellectual interests, initiate and carry out research projects, conferences, working groups, and publication programs.
The promotion of women’s programs in the sense of the life‑work of Marianne Weber is a particular and important,
although not exclusive goal of the institute.
The institute takes its name from Marianne Weber (1870-1954) the intellectual practicing scholar, and spouse of the famous
German sociologist Max Weber. With its central offices in Oerlinghausen, Germany where Marianne Weber was born and formerly in the Muthesius Villa where the family resided, the institute possesses a Marianne
Weber Archive.
It is planned that more will be offered on Marianne Weber herself in the future under these pages, along with the ongoing Programs, Notices, Research Reports, and other particular activities of
the institute.
