Georg Simmel (March 1, 1858 – September 28, 1918, Berlin, Germany) was one of the first generation of German sociologists. He was born to a Jewish family, but after the early death of his father, a Catholic guardian was appointed for him and he was raised as a Catholic. His studies pioneered the concept of social structure. His most famous work today is probably "The Philosophy of Money" and his work on fashion.
