Abstract. Let $E/k(x)$ be a separable geometric extension such that the pole divisor of $x$ is ramified. Let $K/k$ be a function field of genus at least one such that $\Aut_kK$ is infinite. If $K/k$ is elliptic we suppose that the characteristic is zero. The main result of the paper is that there are infinitely many non-isomorphic function fields $L$ over $k$ such that $L/K$ is a Galois extension and $\Gal(L/K)=\Aut_kL\cong\Aut_{k(x)}E$.
