Horkheimer sought personal legislative favors from West German officials in the mid-1950s

Evidence

In the mid-1950s he moved heaven and earth to have another `individual law’ passed in order to get back his American citizenship, which he had been deprived of after all. He also wanted to be granted the privilege of lifelong dual citizenship of the United States and Germany. In Germany he got people like the Hessian Prime Minister, Georg-August Zinn, and the Federal President, Theodor Heuss, involved in his campaign. Demands like these were bound to dampen his efforts to make advances in materialist and critical social theory. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 520
