Did Senator for Transport Schreiner work properly in her doctoral thesis or not? They have it checked after public pressure. The verdict is more than clear.
According to plagiarism hunters, the doctoral thesis by Berlin’s transport senator Manja Schreiner contains many points that are objectionable. According to the portal VroniPlag Wiki, for which honorary experts analyze dissertations, plagiarism sites were documented on 118 of the 169 pages examined. This corresponds to 69.8 percent of all pages.
Based on these findings, it can be conservatively estimated that around 19 percent of the text in the main part of the work is plagiarism. This means taking over from other texts that are unclean or not marked at all. The “Frankfurter Allgemeine” (FAZ) reported first.
At the beginning of August, Schreiner announced that she wanted to have her doctoral thesis on “Employee Consideration in Takeover Law” from 2007 reviewed by the University of Rostock. There had previously been reports of irregularities in it. Shortly thereafter, the university announced that the review would probably last until spring 2024.
The spokeswoman for the black-red Berlin Senate, Christine Richter, referred to this investigation when asked by journalists. “We will wait for this test.”
