Horkheimer secured ample funding for rebuilding the Frankfurt Institute

Evidence

So far as the establishment of the Institute was concerned, Horkheimer’s strategy was very successful. The spring 1950 memorandum on the Institute of Social Research contained a five-year budget in which 50,000 was set aside for the costs of building and furnishing the new Institute, and 109,800 annually for running costs. (The scale of annual salaries ran from 1000 each for the porter and the secretaries to 7000 for the principal, i.e. Horkheimer himself.) — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1861
