[Nomination criteria in the history of the Medical Faculty of the Halle University. III. From the turn of the century to 1945].

The restrictions that had remained applicable in respect of the right of nomination that had been conceded to the Departments of Universities in the 19th century, were rescinded in the early 20th century. As a rule, a list of three suggested names was submitted, but it was still possible that the ministry would issue a decree of appointment without prior approval of the relevant University department. Whereas the conventional principle of nomination continued to apply on paper, additional criteria were brought into play after 1933 involving premises determined by Nazi party politics and which resulted in centrally monitored vocational decisions.
