Early in Koffka’s life, his uncle, a biologist whose interests were in the fields of Philosophy and Science helped to educate him.[1] He learned how to speak English from an English governess and was also educated at the Wilhelms-Gymnasium.[1] This was considered one of the best-known schools in the city.[1] Koffka’s family was well known for more than a generation in the legal professions. He later broke this tradition when he enrolled in the University of Berlin as a Philosophy student and earned his PhD there in 1909 as a student of Carl Stumpf. His thesis under Carl Stumpf was entitled: Experimental-untersuchungen zur Lehre vom Rhythmus (1909; Experimental Investigations of Rhythm).[4]
In addition to his studies in Berlin, Koffka also spent one year 1904-1905 at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland where he developed his strong fluency in English.[1] This was a skill that later served him well in his efforts to spread Gestalt psychology beyond German borders and familiarizing himself with British psychology. When he returned to Berlin, he decided to change his studies from Philosophy to Psychology.[1] Koffka was already working at the University of Frankfurt when Max Wertheimer arrived in 1910 and invited Koffka to participate as a subject in his research on the Phi phenomenon.
Koffka left Frankfurt in 1912 to take a position at the University of Giessen[1] forty miles from Frankfurt, where he remained until 1924. Putting his English fluency to the test, Koffka then traveled to the United States, where he was a visiting professor at the Cornell University from 1924 to 1925, and two years later at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
