Gerhard Moldenhauer received his doctorate from Karl Voretzsch in Halle an der Saale in 1922 with a dissertation on Duke Naimes in the old French epic (Halle 1922). Then he went to Spain, South America and Portugal and from 1924 to 1929 was the head of the office for German-Spanish scientific studies in Madrid. He completed his habilitation in Halle in 1926 with his work The Legend of Barlaam and Josaphat on the Iberian Peninsula. Investigations and texts (Halle 1929). In 1929 he was habilitated to Ernst Robert Curtius in Bonn , where he became an associate professor for Romance philology in 1930. Moldenhauer, a “supporter of National Socialism”, was appointed to Vienna in 1938, initially as an associate professor and from September 1939 as a full professor. He was released on August 23, 1945 and later classified as a fellow traveler. Moldenhauer went to Argentina after the end of the war, and taught there in Rosario and Buenos Aires.
