Hausdorff studied at the University of Leipzig, obtaining his Ph. D. in 1891.
He taught mathematics in Leipzig until 1910, when he became professor of mathematics at the University of Bonn.
He was professor at the University of Greifswald from 1913 to 1921.
He then returned to Bonn.
When the Nazis came to power, Hausdorff, who was Jewish, felt that as a respected university professor he would be spared from persecution.
However, his abstract mathematics was denounced as " Jewish ", useless, and " un-German " and he lost his position in 1935.
Though he could no longer publish in Germany, Hausdorff continued to be an active research mathematician, publishing in the Polish journal Fundamenta Mathematicae.
