He was then an assistant in Frankfurt and in 1965/66 lecturer at the Australian National University and 1966/67 at Monash University . In 1969 he completed his habilitation at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz , where he was a private lecturer, from 1971 scientific advisor and professor and from 1974 department head and professor.
