 (* June 6th 1876 in Frankfurt, † November 12th 1944 KZ Theresienstadt)



Life

Grunsky became qualified to lecture just before the start of World War II. The war made it impossible for him to begin an academic career at this stage and he also had to leave his position as editor of the Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik in 1939. Difficulties at the end of the war did not allow him to enter university teaching even then so in 1945 Grunsky took a position as a high school teacher in Trossingen, Württemberg. He continued to teach mathematics at the high school until 1949 when he became a Privatdozent at the University of Tübingen. It is worth noting that due to various circumstances Grunsky did not enter university teaching until he was 45 years old.
