Biography
Riehl studied at Vienna, Munich,
Innsbruck and Graz. He earned his PhD
from Innsbruck in 1868. He habilitated at
Graz at 1870.

He worked as a full professor of

philosophy at Graz from 1878, then at
Freiburg (from 1882 as a replacement for
Wilhelm Windelband),[1] Kiel and Halle,
and finally at Berlin, where he
commissioned Mies van der Rohe to
design his house in Neubabelsberg.

For Riehl, philosophy was not the

teaching of Weltanschauung, but
principally a criticism of perception.

He was the doctoral advisor of Paul

Hensel and Oswald Spengler.

Riehl died in Neubabelsberg, near

Potsdam,[1] and was buried in the Alter
Friedhof in Klein-Glienicke.

His wife Sofie, was the aunt of Frieda

Gross, the wife of the Austrian medical
doctor, scientist and revolutionary, Otto
Gross.
