Gundolf Keil\u2019s handwriting is utterly distinctive. It appears almost compulsively precise, and because of this \u201cschool-pupil\u201d way of writing, Keil is known as \u201cGundolf the child\u201d in professional circles. If the documents mentioned as alleged proof against Keil are shown to his former colleagues, they all, without exception, say, \u201cThat is by him, by all means.\u201d However, since the originals from which the photocopies were made are not available, it is impossible to know if the documents are forgeries or if they are copies of papers that really exist. One argument for the authenticity of at least one item from 1996 is this: the receipt for 20,000 Deutschmarks, on which the name of a doctoral candidate has been entered, is written out on a pre-printed form from the Avery Zweckform Company. The company stopped printing these particular forms at the end of the 1990\u2019s. Since then, they have not been commercially available.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Mueller, Daniel, \u201ePromotionen: W\u00fcrzburger Doktorfabrik\u201c, Die Zeit Online, 16 November 2012. \u201cWhile the traditional study-abroad sites for Americans, Britain, Italy, Spain and France, still attract more students from the United States, the report found that China is now the fifth-most-popular destination.\u201d \u2013 The New York Times<\/p>\n And what about Germany?<\/em><\/p>\n Novel: http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/revision<\/p>\n —————————————–<\/p>\n 2 JULI 2013, DIENSTAG, D\u00dcSSELDORF, DEUTSCHLAND<\/p>\n Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen* \u2013 Promotionen: W\u00fcrzburger Doktorfabrik \u2013 18<\/p>\n Die Schrift von Gundolf Keil ist \u00fcberaus charakteristisch, sie mutet fast zwanghaft exakt an, in Fachkreisen nennt man ihn ob dieser grundsch\u00fclerhaften Art auch \u00bbGundolf, das Kind\u00ab. Zeigt man ehemaligen Kollegen des Emeritus die vermeintlichen Beweise, sagen sie unisono: \u00bbDas ist auf jeden Fall von ihm.\u00ab Doch ob es sich um F\u00e4lschungen oder Kopien von echten Dokumenten handelt, ist in Ermangelung von Originalen nicht festzustellen. Ein Argument f\u00fcr die Echtheit zumindest eines Belegs aus dem Jahr 1996 k\u00f6nnte sein, dass der Quittungsvordruck, auf dem die Summe \u00bb20.000 DM\u00ab und der Name eines Habilitanden eingetragen sind, von der Firma Zweckform nur bis Ende der neunziger Jahre hergestellt wurde.
