Is a legal historian about to leave because of his research on the Knights Templar? The new university rector Bernhard Fügenschuh is dealing with accusations against a lecturer. 

Myths surround his field of research: the legal historian, who has been employed at the University of Salzburg since 2017, established a research focus on the Order of the Knights Templar. In November of the previous year, the university even announced in a press release that the dissolution of the order in the 14th century should be declared invalid.
