Horkheimer maneuvered to place Adorno and then Marcuse in Frankfurt chairs.

Evidence

But he then heard from Horkheimer: In the meantime I have succeeded (faculty secret!) in getting Teddie on to the list.' However, if Adorno got the chair, and finance could be found for the big project’the study of West German political awarenessthere were good prospects of pushing through a second chair of social philosophy. This would, of course (Horkheimer certainly did not say so explicitly), be for Marcuse. However, Gadamer’s successor in 1953 was not Adorno but Gerhard Krüger, who had been Professor in Tübingen since 1946 and was the same age as Adorno. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 487
