Remarks

  1. ↑ The information about his studies at the Albertus University in Königsberg vary. While Brümmer states it explicitly, Moser is not mentioned in the official records of students at the Albertina for the years 1880 to 1889. So it may well be that - at least in Königsberg - he did not start a proper degree.
