Maximilian Ruppert, who teaches fundamentals of engineering at THI, stands out for his crude theses and drastic assertions. The university has the state attorney’s office check whether and “what measures can be taken.”
After a dramatic sounding entrance music, Eva Herman appears in the picture. She sits at the table in a television studio, a bit like she used to, when Herman was still a news anchor at the “Tagesschau”. But that was a long time ago, she has been spreading conspiracy theory theses on the Internet for years, as was the case in this video conversation for a portal called “Wissensmanufaktur”. Your conversation partner is Maximilian Ruppert, professor at the Technical University of Ingolstadt (THI), teaching area: fundamentals of engineering. Herman introduces him as a “very successful, sporty, active professor” who can speak very well on the topic “How educated are our young people, and what could be improved?”
