 In the beginning of the 1930s Münster still stood in the shadow of Göttingen as a center of research on logic. After the National Socialists’ seizure of power, most of German language logicians lost their positions and were forced into emigration. Only Münster survived as a place for research on logic and foundations. Scholz was successful in resisting the attacks from the side of the so-called “Deutsche Mathematik”, a National-Socialist racist movement emphasizing the mathematical work of German “national comrades” (Volksgenossen). The Munich mathematician Max Steck (1907–1971) was particularly hostile. Steck’s book, Das Hauptproblem der Mathematik (1942), is directed against logicism, the axiomatic method, and metamathematics, as proposed by logicians and mathematicians close to David Hilbert and his school. Steck labeled Hilbert’s formalism as a “simply catastrophic” mental one-sidedness, a “decadence” from the perspective of intellectual history (Steck 1942, p. 205). In several places Scholz is attacked as Hilbert’s spokesman. Steck calls Scholz’s Münster School a “transplantation of the earlier so-called Vienna Circle to Münster in Westphalia” (p. 176).
