Interesting how Teichmueller has a bunch of stuff named after him, yet there&#x27;s very little information about him to be had. There are some references on Google Scholar: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scholar.google.de&#x2F;scholar?q=%22o+teichmueller%22&amp;btnG=&amp;hl=de&amp;as_sdt=0%2C5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scholar.google.de&#x2F;scholar?q=%22o+teichmueller%22&amp;btn...</a>. He is certainly published in more than a single journal, however.<p>However there are no references to him on his &quot;discoveries&quot;. Note the lack of a history section <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Teichm%C3%BCller_space" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Teichm%C3%BCller_space</a> and compare that to the section on Hilbert space: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hilbert_space#History" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hilbert_space#History</a><p>On the other hand, Felix Hausdorff, who also appears to have worked in the same field (though topology is probably a far broader field than I can understand) has plenty of information readily available. This is conjecture, but the mere lack of solid information on Teichmueller could lend credence to some of what you say.<p>There is a book about mathematics under the Nazis, which would likely cover a lot of ground <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jstor.org&#x2F;stable&#x2F;20453494?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jstor.org&#x2F;stable&#x2F;20453494?seq=1#page_scan_tab_con...</a><p>Anyway, bit of a mystery ¯\_(ツ)_&#x2F;¯
