Horkheimer as Dean re-established theology chairs at Frankfurt University

Evidence

Not long after taking up his old chair, Horkheimer was elected Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, an office he held from autumn 1950 to autumn 1951. In this capacity, he made a contribution to the reconstruction of Frankfurt University which made it clear that there had been a change of emphasis in his relationship to theology: he ensured that chairs for Protestant and Catholic theology were re-established, and later one for Judaic studies as well. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1847
