German sociologists largely ignored the student movement until forced to address it

Evidence

German sociologists had been surprised by the movement and, apart from Habermas, had had little to say about it up till then. They were now meeting in what was, after all, the most important centre of student opposition outside Berlin, an opposition that had ensured that structural questions connected with an industrially highly developed capitalist society had once more entered the spectrum of public debate. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 661
