-In 1927 Reidemeister was offered a chair in Königsberg which he accepted. In 1930 the German Mathematical Congress met in Königsberg and Reidemeister organised the first international conference on the philosophy of mathematics to be a part of the larger Congress. He was forced to leave his chair in Königsberg in 1933 by the Nazis, who he strongly opposed, who classed him as 'politically unsound'. After being temporarily suspended from his chair he was later appointed to Hensel's chair in Marburg at what was considered a smaller and less prestigious university.
