Mario Wandruszka , until 1919 Wandruszka von Wanstetten (born August 9, 1911 in Znaim ; † March 17, 2004 ) was an Austrian Romance studies and linguist .

Life

The son of an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army studied Romance and German philology in Paris , Aix-en-Provence , Perugia and Vienna , where he received his doctorate in 1934 . In 1938 he completed his habilitation in Heidelberg for the subject Romance Philology .

Mario Wandruszka and his brother Adam Wandruszka applied for admission to the NSDAP on May 28, 1938 , but received no notice for about a year. The Gauleiter of Vienna finally approved the request on the grounds that the brothers had been "in the movement since March 1933" and that they could not be seen to have "the eighth of Jewish blood" that ran in their veins. The appeal to the “grace of the Führer” was successful. On May 1, 1941, the brothers were admitted to the party retroactively from May 1, 1938.

In 1956 Wandruszka became a professor at the University of Tübingen , and from 1971 he taught at the University of Salzburg . In 1981 he retired .
