Nicolaus Sombart (10 May 1923 – 4 July 2008) was a German cultural sociologist, historian and writer.
The son of Werner Sombart and his Romanian wife Corina Leon, Sombart was known, in particular, as an analyst of Wilhelmine Germany and a critique of Carl Schmitt. For nearly 30 years, Sombart benefited from an appointment as senior cultural civil servant attached to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, while also continuing his career as a writer and academic, principally in Berlin at the Freie Universität.
Sombart's daughter is the classical pianist Elizabeth Sombart.[1]
