German sociologist. An early historian of English settlements. Published 'Toynbee Hall and the English Settlement Movement' in 1913.

Werner Robert Valentin Picht was born on 28 September 1887 in Berlin, Germany, the son of Gustav Maximillian Reinhold Pitcht (1853-1889) and Lilla Susanne Sophie Picht née Rautenstrauch (1867-1933).

He was baptised on 4 December 1887 in Berlin and his sister, Marie Lilla Clara Picht (1888-1969), was born on 30 September 1888.
