Horkheimer declined sabbaticals because they cost him lecturing fees

Evidence

A ministerial decree of 6 December 1956 did in fact award Horkheimer a series of sabbatical semesters up to his retirement. He only made use of this privilege once, however, as he did not want to do without his lecturing fees, which were discontinued during sabbaticals. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 493
