Abstract
The student protest movement at West German universities in the 1960s was inspired both by the ideas of the sociologists of the so called Frankfurt school coming back to Germany from exile after 1945, and by the student protest movement in the United States of America, which started as a reaction to the ban on political agitation on universities and discrimination of the black population. It shared with the American movement its objections to the Vietnam War and the negative attitude towards the policy of American administration in the Third World.
