abstract
In 1923, Richard (Meszleny-)Messer, a Germanist who lived in Bratislava, tried to habilitate at the Czech Faculty of Philosophy of the Charles University on the basis of a Czech-written study on R. M. Rilke and a lecture on epic Mariology in German poetry from the Middle Ages until the present. Despite the support of many colleagues (especially A. Novák, A. Kraus, and O. Fischer), the habilitation process was after several months stopped. This contribution presents an outline of the main factors and stages of this ultimately failed process, as far as one can discern them from textual evidence, with the aim of uncovering the background of the events.
