Summary/Abstract: This article explains the circumstances under which Wolfgang Wolfram von Wolmar, a prominent representative of the Nazi regime, received a doctorate at the German University in Prague. The rigorosum proceedings were nonstandard not only due to their subject’s political engagement but also because von Wolmar had never attended the German University Prague and his dissertation theses consisted of an already completed book on the history of the Prague University (Prag und das Reich. 600 Jahre Kampf deutscher Studenten), which failed to meet some of the basic requirements placed on a doctoral thesis. The article includes an edition of a substantial part of the rigorosum thesis.
