Believe it or not, the reality is even spicier than that. When Schopenhauer was applying for a lecturer position at the university, one of requirements was to deliver an oral presentation (if I'm not wrong the subject was his PhD thesis) which would be evaluated in front of a committee. Hegel was one of the three members of the committee and in fact Hegel's vote ended up being decisive for Schopenhauer to be approved. Hegel was pretty much totally indifferent towards Schopenhauer during his tenure as a lecturer, even though Schop quarrelled with a lot of people there.
