 The tragedy of the Great War not only led to an abrupt stop in the scientific output of the two circles, but also contributed to the dissolution of the Munich and, in particular, the Göttingen group. Many among early phenomenologists died at the front: Reinach fell in 1917, and his fate was shared by, among others, Clemens, Frankfurter, and Ritzel. In 1916, when Husserl moved to Freiburg to take over Heinrich Rickert’s position as chair of philosophy, the “tradition of phenomenology” fostered by the two circles remained active mainly in Munich and Bergzabern (a small city in Rhineland-Palatinate, where the Conrads had an estate and regularly hosted discussions in which mainly Héring, Koyré, Lipps, Stein, and von Sybel took part, see Feldes 2015). It was in Munich, however, that the future of this approach to phenomenology seemed most secure: there, Pfänder became full professor in 1929, and Gallinger and von Hildebrand taught as Privatdozenten. The rise of Nazism in Germany, however, put an end to this group, too. Due to his opposition to the regime, von Hildebrand had to flee to the United States. Gallinger, who was of Jewish origin, left Germany for Sweden. Geiger (full professor in Göttingen from 1923) was forced to retire in 1933. And Stein died in Auschwitz in 1942.
