Only three of eight postwar West German sociology chairs went to anti-fascists
Evidence
When the rebuilt Institute of Social Research was opened, there were eight chairs of sociology in West Germany, some of them interdisciplinary ones linked to other subjects. Only three of these were held by émigrés or anti-fascists. One of the two émigrés was Horkheimer. The other was René König, who had succeeded to Leopold von Wiese’s chair in Cologne in 1949. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1914
