Born in Focșani, Romania in a Jewish-Bessarabia German family, Grünberg studied law in Strasbourg and worked as an advocate. Later he studied political economy in Vienna. Among his academic teachers were Gustav Schmoller in Strasbourg and Lorenz von Stein and Anton Menger in Vienna. In 1894, he became academic reader for political law and economy at the University of Vienna. Grünberg was one of the founders of Austromarxism. Among his students were Otto Bauer, Rudolf Hilferding and Karl Renner. 1912 he got the chair for history of economy at the university of Vienna.
In 1924 he became the first director of the Institute for Social Research, later known as the Frankfurt School.[1] He established and edited a journal of labour and socialist history, the Zeitschrift für Social- und Wirthschaftsgeschichte (1893) and the Archiv für die Geschichte des Sozialismus und der sozialen Bewegung (1911), a journal that is known today as the Grünberg-Archiv (Archive for the History of Socialism and the Workers' Movement). After having suffered from a stroke, he retired in 1929 and left the Institute to Max Horkheimer.
