As was customary at the time, he also studied at other universities. In Erlangen he still devoted all of his time to theology and philosophy; whereas in Königsberg (today Kaliningrad, Russia), where he enrolled in the fall of 1829, he does not seem to have done any studying at all. Perhaps the reason was that he was spending his time caring for his ailing mother, who was suffering from mental disease. He returned to the University of Berlin in 1832 and formally completed his studies two years later.
The marginal quality of his final examination resulted in his being awarded a conditional facultas docendi, which gave him permission to teach only at the high school level. He married Clara Kunigunde Burtz, the daughter of his landlady, in December 1837. She died about a year later, after giving birth to a stillborn baby. It was not until 1839 that he was able to obtain a teaching position at a girls' high school in Berlin, where he offered classes in history and literature.
In 1841 he began meeting with a group of young intellectuals who called themselves "Die Freien" (The Free Ones).
