With Konstantin Gutberlet he founded the Philosophical Yearbook there in 1888 . From 1889 to 1893 he taught apologetics in Washington as the first occupation of the newly founded Catholic university . From 1894 to 1897 Pohle taught dogmatics in Munich, and from 1897 to 1921 at the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Breslau . In 1915/16 he was rector . There he worked out his three-volume textbook on dogmatics for the purpose of accompanying lectures . It appeared in the first edition from 1902 to 1905 and quickly became a standard work that replaced the textbook by Herman Schell that had been indexed. Revisions were made by Michael Gierens and Josef Gummersbach . An English translation by A. Preuss was published in St. Louis from 1911 to 1917. From 1910 to 1912, Pohle worked at the Staatslexikon, also at the Catholic Encyclopedia , the Kirchlichen Handlexikon and the journals Der Katholik , Historisch Politische Blätter , Natur and Revelation .
Think
Pohl's doctrine of grace is shaped by Molinism . He was in opposition to modern philosophy. Pohles thesis is controversial that soldiers who die for their fatherland are in the rank of martyrs.
