Doctorate controversy

Hans-Georg Bögner held the academic degree 'Dr. rer. pol. ', which he supposedly acquired in 2001 in the economics and social sciences department of a north German university. For an amount of around 2500 euros, a title dealer who has now been legally convicted has taken on the formalities of the doctorate and staged a disputation. The official version of the acquisition of the doctoral degree was that Bögner received his doctorate in economics in March 2001 as part of a research project on the foundation system at the University of Hamburg.

Before Christmas 2008, the title dealer wanted to blackmail Bögner by falsely acquiring the doctorate. Bögner did not allow this, called on lawyers and immediately informed his employer, the Lord Mayor of Cologne and the university institute in which he was teaching, and filed a criminal complaint.

On February 17, 2009 he publicly announced that his degree 'Dr. rer. pole.' no longer lead. After it became known that he was wrongly using his doctoral degree, Bögner withdrew from the Cologne city council on February 22, 2009. At the council meeting on March 26, 2009, he resigned from his mandate.

A preliminary investigation opened against Bögner on the basis of a complaint by the right-wing extremist party “ pro Köln ” was discontinued after a short time. Hans-Georg Bögner did not use the academic degree during the ongoing proceedings; he had it removed from his identity card a year before the facts were announced. His official title 'Professor' was not affected by the events.
