What made the text slanted in the first place?

You may try adding Juergen's special lines below \usepackage{ulem} in

Provides ulem 1
AddToPreamble
  \usepackage{ulem}
  % Juergen's special lines:

EndPreamble

I am confident you have a clue for that as well!? Maybe your first
proposition (change classicthesis-config.tex) is the better 
alternative?

Best thing would be to ask the maintainer of ulem to fix the bug... 
but that might only come in a few years, knowing how fast things are 
changing in so-1980 LaTeX world.

Thanks Philip,
I will do as you suggests above.

Meanwhile I changed classicthesis-config.tex as screen shot and then 
used underbar in a single word. Unfortunately I faced the same 
annoying loop.

Please, check the change I've made - what did I do wrong?

God morning Philip,
I reset my brain early this morning and looked once more at what you 
sent me on the issue.
I did try it all but the problem remained.
Suddenly I saw it right in front of my eyes: "...makes amsmath enter an 
infinitive loop"
So, do I need amsmath in my documents? I decided NO!
Accordingly I removed the following two lines in classicthesis-config.tex

\PassOptionsToPackage{fleqn}{amsmath}
    \usepackage{amsmath}

Then I checked if that had in some way effected any math 
formulas/expressions in Miede's original text and find it had not.

Then I formatted all the words as needed with 'underbar' and compiled.
There my PDF was - beautiful and precisely as anticipated!

Philip, I am very sorry for taking you on that long and winding road 
while we could have taken a shortcut.

Cheers and many thanks,
Michael Berger
