The Master of Disaster: Guttenberg's supervisor

With the official withdrawal of his doctorate by the University of Bayreuth is the case yesterday evening Guttenberg finally become a case Häberle. For after Now, the doctoral committee of the university in exceptionally short time found held that, Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg failed in a considerable extent "against the law and the principles of scientific work," begs the question: Did or did Guttenberg's supervisor Professor Peter Häberle and the second supervisor of the thesis Rudolf Streinz 2006/2007 for Textklau do not realize that was seen the Bremen law professor Andreas Fischer-Lescano already on superficial reading ?

Already Guttenberg's confession on Monday evening that he had "serious mistakes" made was, despite all the protestations that he wanted the surrender of its title, prevent harm to the University of Bayreuth and his supervisor, an unintended indictment. For Guttenberg sat with the moral and scientific bankruptcy Häberle the wrong, the few days before the Bild-Zeitung said , the work was controlled by him in detail and the plagiarism accusations against Guttenbeg were "absurd." This Professor Peter Häberle is a renowned international law expert, on whose expertise it can be no doubt. His reputation is such that even a colleague robbed by Guttenberg, only very cautiously expressed his astonishment about the operation. The Neue Westfälische " Bielefeld said the law professor Franz C. Mayer:

" I really wonder how writers want to save face and university to get out of the matter? " For with the obvious amount of plagiarism job in Guttenberg to the dissertation should have been noticed - especially since the supervisor is the Baron, the respected constitutional lawyer Professor Peter Häberle. Mayer suggested that Häberle have noticed nothing actually in the care of the thesis.

You can feel it almost physically: Mayer would not be the first crow that the academic colleagues Häberle aushackt an eye. But it must be clear: if a man like Häberle unaware that Guttenberg has written off about a fifth of his doctoral work, and if he and the second referee Rudolf Streinz obviously not the 2007 already available software and search engines ( here a very interesting article the market leader, "headmaster") are used for the detection of such plagiarism in academic texts, it is hard to believe in oversight.

Surprisingly, it has been held apparently no media necessary to the political and academic networks of relationships to illuminate around Guttenberg's promotion once. Also added at the press conference yesterday evening, as I have seen this, no one the Bayreuth University President Rüdiger Bormann asked the obvious questions: Why

have overlooked the two assessors, which was obvious?


what test methods to detect plagiarism have been used in Guttenberg's thesis? Or maybe not.


Are there actually rules for the use of software to detect plagiarism, or the random googling of text? If no: What is the relationship with the quality of a self-appointed elite university?


should come the Scientific Commission, which reviewed the process still further, to the conclusion that Häberle have failed signally & Co - what would the consequences be for the two scientists?


At least the last question, I can even answer: Probably not. For Häberle is retired. And a professor in Germany to reduce the pension is more difficult than the death penalty against someone imposed.

has now in fact the Tagesspiegel even started to shed light on the Bayreuth to make felt. He reported a long rumored on the web facts. It says:

While working on his dissertation has operated the CSU politician Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg at the University of Bayreuth about his family as a sponsor. Between 1999 and 2006 were for a new chair at the Law and Economics Faculty of the University of Bayreuth total of 747 € 764.36 was paid, confirmed the Rhon-Klinikum AG, the Tagesspiegel. Guttenberg sat from 1996 to 2002 Board of Rhön-Klinikum AG, his family was there until 2002, a big block of shares. The CSU political science from 1992 to 1999 Bayreuth in law and received his doctorate in 2007 with the top grade "summa cum laude. With his work on the dissertation, he began to find in 2000.

Guttenberg was, therefore, at least during part of his studies, co-owner and board member of one of the main sponsors of the University of Bayreuth. The Rhön-Klinikum now has just as hard back any suspicion of influence as the college:

"The charge of Guttenberg professors they had had nothing to do with the engagement was terminated five years ago, the last installment ran on 4. April 2006. "

It was purely by chance, just before Guttenberg submitted his doctoral thesis. Of course, can be induced by such revelations, the University under increasing pressure. You certainly can see the strong words of the Bayreuth law professor Oliver Lepsius in the FAZ for Guttenberg finds deception, as vindication for his experimental colleagues Häberle. If Lepsius says: "We are eating a con artist," he is so understanding even indirectly, Guttenberg had developed so much criminal energy that the poor, old, busy Häberle and the other instances of the university was impossible to see through the deception.


The "world" has made way, at least at the beginning of a tentative affair attempt to clarify the academic scandal, but it can be based here, after the journalists were brushed off by the press officer of the University of Bayreuth. Peter told the world this Schmälzle colleagues, political or financial influences have the university the assessment of the thesis not given ( emphasis added). In return, the university would also have to make little hands dirty, for the second supervisor Rudolf Streinz is itself CSU politicians - even if his local government career in Landshut City Council, as the local "weekly" writes, was quite short.

The possible motives of Guttenberg's supervisor Haeberle has not been studied in great medium. The complete article about Häberle found in the online edition of the "Handelsblatt". It is only the reproduction of a transmitted by dpa background portraits.

have is true that German media about the award of the Bavarian Order of Merit "shortly after the completion of Guttenberg's doctoral thesis at Häberle reported . But hardly any of the question Häberle connections to the ruling CSU circles in Bavaria as clear as the Switzerland Magazine :

There is also speculation that Guttenberg's thesis supervisor Professor Peter Häberle, could be more involved in this affair than previously thought. This was 2007, right after the thesis Guttenberg, the Bavarian Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber, the Bavarian Order of Merit even though he had received the higher value of the award of Merit in 1998. Whether there are also inconsistencies could be the subject of extensive investigations.

Guttenberg was sitting by the way, when he gave his PhD in 2006 for five years in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Bundestag, in 2001 he was the youngest only 31 years Member had been appointed. The Committee, according to self-report on the parliamentary website

a favored by the constitutional committee, he is one of the four committees prescribed by the Basic Law. As a classic political committee he accompanied the foreign government policies important especially in the run foreign and security policy decisions. Basically, he works behind closed doors. "His advice is highly sensitive topics. So his advice to responsible members of whether the Federal Government must send German soldiers to work abroad."


be here as usual in the committees and necessary for smooth functioning of Parliament, the substantive issues discussed in small groups - and decided before the big confusing Parliament are submitted to a vote. This is from the Constitution wanted it and no need for conspiracy theories, how they are spread out in this blog article, which I owe some advice. Since the composition of the Committee, the mandate reflects conditions in the Bundestag, the House has so far never deviated from the recommendation of the Committee.

Guttenberg was apparently made at a very young age by his party for the highest future use - a minister in waiting. And also knew the two promotion experts who know the importance and constitutional law as a function of the Foreign Affairs Committee certainly better than most citizens. You have to speculate therefore does not have direct political or financial pressures - even if the University of Bayreuth, founded in the seventies and so, as other older universities, a direct creation of the CSU state government, from which it was also equipped always generous with funds . It only needs to imagine the psychological situation of the two experts who knew exactly what would trigger a incredible bang it when that time is now in Bavaria already famous golden boys just dropped by the promotion.

And that touched something fundamental: namely, the question of whether, in this country in general are still areas in which the same law applies to all without respect of persons. Previously I believed that in the academic field (and also in the judiciary) at least the injustice would be fairly distributed. Getting Rich is better able to strip and have their lawyers write theses of ghostwriters. But even before the departments they had apparently no privileges. I am excited to be the case Guttenberg so because he left this defeatist drivel from the general corruption of the state and the political class apparently quite there. This can be only partially healed when Guttenberg's fraud has any consequences. If he is already indispensable itself (which throws light on the wretched of the political class), it must at least be senile and corrupt supervisor, who waved through the mud to be punished.
