After helping out for four weeks in Munich in the parish of St. Martin/Moosach, Joseph Ratzinger spent one year as chaplain in the Holy Blood/Bogenhausen parish in Munich. From 1952 to 1954, while preparing for his doctorate in theology, he was already teaching at the minor seminary in Freising. From 1954 to 1957 he held the chair for dogmatic and fundamental theology at the university there.

Following his postdoctoral Habilitation at the University of Munich, Joseph Ratzinger continued to teach as associate professor until, at the age of 32, transferred in the summer semester of 1959 to the University of Bonn where he taught fundamental theology.


Theological Advisor to Cardinal Frings at the Second Vatican Council

In Bonn, Archbishop Joseph Cardinal Frings (Cologne) noticed the young professor and took him as his chief theological advisor to the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Thereafter he taught at the Universities of Münster, Tübingen (1966) and Regensburg (1969). In Regensburg his brother Georg was Master of Music from 1964.
