Christoph König, Hans-Harald Müller and Werner Röcke, Berlin/New York: de Gruyter, 2000, ISBN 3-11-016157-5, (p. 183 ) 〕 and following service in World War I,〔Cyril Edwards, "Censoring Siegfried's Love Life: The >Nibelungenlied< in the Third Reich" in ''Mythos - Sage - Erzählung: Gedenkschrift für Alfred Ebenbauer'', ed. Johannes Keller and Florian Kragl, Göttingen: Vienna University Press/V&R, 2009, ISBN 978-3-89971-562-0, pp. 87–103, (p. 91 ).〕〔''Internationales Germanistenlexikon: 1800 - 1950'' Volume 1, A–G, ed. Christoph König, Birgit Wägenbauer, Berlin: de Gruyter, 2003, (p. 233 ) 〕 his ''Habilitation'' from the University of Breslau in 1919,〔 in German studies, Old Norse and Philology. Both his dissertation and his ''Habilitationsschrift'' are on the Faroese ballads which relate to the ''Nibelungenlied'', which he was later to edit.〔Edwards, (pp. 91-92 ).〕 While working on his Habilitation, he was a tutor in Old Norse at Breslau. He then held academic positions in German Studies at the University of Gothenburg (1919–22), Old Norse at the University of Greifswald (1924–26), and Old Norse at Leipzig (1926–30). From 1930 to 1945, he was professor of German Language and Literature at the University of Bern.〔〔 After World War II, he became professor of German Language and Literature at Marburg (1945–49), and then held the chair in Older German Language and Literature and Old Norse at the Free University of Berlin until 1958/59, when he retired.〔 De Boor was a very productive scholar.〔Wyss, p. 187.〕 He revised Karl Bartsch's standard edition of the ''Nibelungenlied''〔Edwards, (p. 87 ).〕 and co-wrote a widely used grammar of Middle High German,〔Volker Michel, "Die Kunst des Addierens. Germanisten in der >Neuen Deutschen Biographie< und in dem >Deutschen Literatur-Lexikon. Das 20. Jahrhundert<", ''Geschichte der Germanistik: Mitteilungen'' 25/26 (2004), pp. 24-33, (p. 31 ) 〕 but throughout his career occupied himself with the philology of Old Norse as well as of German.〔 He wrote above all about heroic literature.〔Edwards, (p. 95 ).〕 After leaving Switzerland he began work on a complete history of German literature, originally intended as a short handbook for student use; it became a multi-volume work of which he wrote only the first three volumes, dealing with the early Middle Ages and Middle High German poetry.〔Wyss, (pp. 182-83 ).〕〔De Boor himself said that his work on this was done in libraries and seminars at the University of Marburg - Josef Pieper, "Noch nicht aller Tage Abend (1945–1964)", ''Autobiographische Schriften'', ed.
