Tektonikbeschreibung: The chancellor, ranked below the rector, was the pope's representative and, from 1561, the duke's representative in the town. He supervised the university and was responsible for monitoring teaching and compliance with censorship regulations and chaired the Chancellor's Court of Appeal. He was involved in the awarding of academic degrees, since 1912 only in the awarding of honorary doctorates. Until 1817, the office was associated with the provostry of the collegiate church and thus also with the first theological ordinariate. It lost importance from the 17th century onwards and had become a mere honorary office by the end of the 18th century.<br />The appointment of the curator in 1811 did not affect the office externally, but the supervisory function was transferred to the curator (Organic Law 1811). After the office was separated from the first theological ordinariate in 1817, the office initially remained vacant. In 1819, the office of Vice-Chancellor and Royal Plenipotentiary was renewed and assigned the following specialised tasks: Immediatereporting on the professors and their influence on student discipline, exercising the powers of the Chancellor in doctorates and examinations, controlling the enrolment of foreigners, sitting and voting on all boards and committees with the power to demand the convening of the Senate and to suspend Senate resolutions (1819: Reyscher 153, p. 622). In the same year, the Vice-Chancellor was also appointed extraordinary plenipotentiary to oversee the implementation of the Bundestag resolution of 20 September 1819 and the enforcement of the disciplinary laws (1819: Reyscher 159, pp. 634-637). In 1822, the incumbent, Johann Ferdinand Autenrieth (1772-1835), was appointed chancellor.<br />In 1829, the chancellor once again became a royal commissioner, and at the same time, until 1831, he was also head of the university instead of the rector (1829: Reyscher 230, p. 721; 1831: Reyscher 246, p. 754). After the rector's office was restored, the chancellor's former duties were restored and the office of vice-chancellor was abolished (Reyscher 246, p. 754). In the following decades, the supervisory functions increasingly lost their practical significance, while the incumbents gained a high reputation as mediators and intermediaries between the ministry and the university. When in 1933 the National Socialist government wanted to see a man it trusted in this position and the chancellor requested his dismissal, a successor was no longer appointed. (Dehlinger, § 230. Thümmel, pp. 113-121, Angerbauer, Attempto 33/34) The new office of chancellor created in 1969 as head of the university's economic and personnel administration has nothing in common with the older chancellor's office that existed until 1933.
