Horkheimer regained his Frankfurt chair and planned an Institute branch
Evidence
In the spring and summer of 1949, Horkheimer travelled to Frankfurt again, this time with Pollock. He drove to talks with the ministry in Wiesbaden together with Walter Kolb, the Social Democrat Mayor of Frankfurt. The outcome of the talks was that Horkheimer was reappointed to the chair of social philosophy. Over dinner in the Trade, Industry and Science Club, Horkheimer and Pollock discussed with Kolb their plan to set up a branch of the New York Institute in Frankfurt. Having a branch of an American institute would make Frankfurt a centre of modern social research and forge links between the German social sciences and the most advanced research and technology in the field. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 426
