Curriculum Vitae
Margarethe Halledauer was born in Vienna in 1898, the daughter of ÖBB inspector Richard Halledauer. In 1919, she graduated from the Girls' Reform Secondary School in Vienna IV and enrolled in mathematics and physics at the University of Vienna in the winter semester of 1919/20. During this time, she joined the student association Vereinigung katholisch-deutscher Hochschülerinnen Wiens.
In 1924, she obtained her doctorate. The title of her thesis is "On a new method of small emanation quantities" and is about research she carried out at the Vienna Institute for Radium Research. In 1926, she passed her teaching exams in mathematics and physics and then took up various teaching positions in the schools of the Vienna Frauen-Erwerbs-Verein. Finally, on September 1, 1937, she was appointed principal of the girls' school in Baden, Frauengasse 3-5.
In view of her intimate past with the system that has been overcome and her behavior towards the NSDAP, it appears impossible for her to remain in the service without significantly endangering the interests of the service, which is why she is provisionally suspended from the service in accordance with § 184 of the Teachers' Service Regulations (Federal Law Gazette 319 ex 1917). [...] as further employment in a responsible leading position in school supervision is not feasible in view of her previous political attitude, which is well known among teachers.
As a result, Margarethe Halledauer was taken back into service and forcibly transferred to St. Pölten on October 1, 1938. Many minor harassments are documented.
After the war, she was rehabilitated and appointed principal at the Bundesrealgymnasium für Mädchen und Frauenoberschule IV, Wiedner Gürtel in September 1945. She died in 1969.
