Hans MÜLLER (MÜLLER-EINIGEN) (born on October 25th, 1882 in Andreasberg/Bohemia [Ondrejov u Kaplice/Czech Republic] (Bruenn lt. Ausb.liste), died on March 8th, 1950 in Einigen/Switzerland), had graduated at the Philosophical School of the University of Vienna in History on June 19th, 1906 with the academic degree 'Dr. phil.' (dissertation: 'Englands Stellung zu Oesterreich von 1740-1756').
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on February 28th, 1942 with the racist argument, that he as a Jew was not considered dignified an academic degree of a German university ('eines akademischen Grades einer deutschen Hochschule unwuerdig').
It took 13 years since the deprivation - and a very long time since the end of Nazism - until the regranting of the doctorate took finally place on May 13th, 1955.
