- killerpopiller 14y agothey even adress you as Herr Magister, not only Dr. :D
- spdy 14y agoMagister is Austria not Germany
- wolfgke 14y ago"Magister" is also a German academic title (that was not uncommon in Germany before the Bologna reform to graduate in especially in humane disciplines). But it's only common to adress someone as "Herr Magister" in Austria.
- sek 14y agoNo it does exist in Germany too, my mum has one.
