The Logitech/Hamburg Modula-2 compiler for VAX/VMS is indeed a port of
Wirth's original Modula-2 compiler for PDP-11.  It was ported by Prof.
Schmidt's group at the University of _Hamburg_ around 1982.  Schmidt
subsequently moved to Frankfurt (around 1984), so that's where Frankfurt
University comes in.  Last I heard, Schmidt recently moved back to
Hamburg again ...
