Frankfurt University’s first philosophy chair was held alone by Cornelius for fifteen years

Evidence

Cornelius, born in Munich in 1863, had come to Frankfurt in 1910 and for a decade and a half was the only full professor of philosophy at Frankfurt University, which had opened in 1914. He, too, had gained a reputation for being one of the initiators of gestalt psychology. His most important partner in the discussions on epistemology which took place at the `Villa Cornelius’ in Oberursel, a town which lay, like Kronberg, at the foot of the Taunus mountains, was Max Wertheimer. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 175
