In the fall of 1868 Schoenberg accepted a call as professor of political economy at the University of Basel in 1870 and moved in the same box at the Albert -Ludwigs- University of Freiburg. Three years later they took him to the University of Tübingen. There Schoenberg not only worked as a professor of political science, but from 1885 to 1886 as a principal and since 1900 as the successor of Carl Heinrich Weizsäcker for several years as chancellor, which until 1906 a mandate in the Württemberg Chamber of Deputies was connected.
