Watch FMovies. At the beginning of the winter semester 68/69, the students of the Department of Educational Sciences (AfE) at the University of Frankfurt decide to boycott all courses and at the same time organize counter-seminars. The strike was directed against the effects of the technocratic university reform that had just been introduced and was supported by all the student councils, especially the sociologists, students of Frankfurt Critical Theory. But this solidarity strike developed into a tangible dispute over the dismantling of authoritarian teaching situations and new emancipatory research strategies. The sociology seminar is occupied and renamed the "Spartakus Seminar". Working groups now meet there. The SDS discusses with Professors Habermas, Mitscherlich and v. Friedeburg shortly before the police occupy the seminar at night.
