He was strongly supported by Clebsch, who regarded him as likely to become the leading mathematician of his day, and so Klein held a chair from the remarkably early age of 23. However Klein did not build a school at Erlangen where there were only a few students, so he was pleased to be offered a chair at the Technische Hochschule at Munich in 1875.
Siya ay Matindi ang suportado ng Clebsch, na regarded siya bilang malamang na maging ang mga nangungunang dalubbilang ng kanyang araw, at kaya Klein hawak ng isang upuan mula sa halatang-halata maagang edad ng 23. Subalit Klein hindi bumuo ng isang paaralan sa Erlangen kung saan ay doon lamang ng ilang mga mag-aaral, kaya siya ay nalulugod na inaalok ng isang upuan sa Technische Hochschule sa Munich in 1875.
