Ackermann was born in Herscheid municipality, Germany, and was awarded a Ph. D. by the University of Göttingen in 1925 for his thesis Begründung des " tertium non datur " mittels der Hilbertschen Theorie der Widerspruchsfreiheit, which was a consistency proof of arithmetic apparently without full Peano induction ( although it did use e. g. induction over the length of proofs ).
