The general coefficient theorem [2] and the extended general coefficient theorem [3] state that the existence of certain quadratic differentials is a sufficient condition for a function to be a solution of certain extremum problems. The purpose of this paper is to show that in the case of simply connected regions this condition is also necessary.

We shall do this by a variational method of the Schiffer-Golusin-type. The main difficulty is, that the class of admissible functions for the general coefficient theorem is restricted and we must therefore have a method of variation with restrictions.
