T1 - „Semper Apertus“ BT - Pastor Hermann Maas, the Theological Faculty, and the Re-opening of the University of Heidelberg in 1945 JF - Jahrbuch für badische Kirchen- und Religionsgeschichte N2 - On 5 August 1947, two years after the occupying American army had shut it down, the University of Heidelberg recognized Prälat Hermann Ludwig Maas (1877–1970) on his seventieth birthday with a doctorate honoris causa. The document which the Rektor, Prof. Hans Freiherr von Campenhausen, presented to Maas supported the honor with half a dozen reasons why he was worthy of the title Doktor, but the laudatio made no mention of the university’s debt to Hermann Maas that arose in the summer of 1945. Years later, when Maas was a walking, living legend in his own city, the popular press remembered that Maas and members of the Theological Faculty taught uninterruptedly during the Summer Semester of 1945 while other faculties slumbered. Maas and his colleagues helped the university live up to its heralded motto: semper apertus.
