Mitarb. KrJb (1890-1910)
<blockquote>„Stengel’s work at Marburg focused almost exclusively on medieval French language and literature, but he did not neglect the German school system’s demand for teachers trained in practical language use. He was one of the first professors to demand a less theoretical curriculum in which students would pay more attention to exercises in contemporary French and Italian. This idea quickly found its opponents, but Stengel succeeded in appointing one lecturer at Marburg, asking the faculty to have him work under his and not the faculty’s guidance, although this meant extra work for him. Those innovations and other progressive ideas led to disputes with Marburg University’s authorities who accused Stengel on these and other occasions of having given cause for offence. Gottfried Mehnert suggests that the growing disrespect of the University may have its roots in Stengel’s role as a member of the ''Verein zur Abwehr des Antisemitismus'' […] the foundation documents of which he had signed in 1891 alongside other eminent figures such as Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903) and the poet Gustav Freytag (1816-1895). As a member of the ''Freisinnige Vereinigung'', a liberal party, Stengel agitated against the flaring resentments towards Jews, which were stirred up in Marburg mainly by the right wing politician Otto Böckel (1859-1923), who, ironically, had been Stengel’s own doctoral student“ (Rudolf, 2013-214).
