Abstract
The summer of 1971 was perhaps one of the very few carefree summers that Gerth had enjoyed ever since he started to teach. With his family, he stayed at his sister’s not far from Frankfurt in the Taunus hills. The family visited the home of his daughter, Julia, in a village along the Baltic coast. She had just made him a happy grand-father for the first time. He was generally relaxed, without pressing obligations to “produce.” The university teaching would not start until October. He was scheduled to teach Introductory Sociology and a seminar on Comparative Social Structures: Japan, America, and Germany. He had given these courses in Madison and felt he knew what he wanted to do.

Aktionsgruppe Gerth-Vorlesung — Kommunistische Studentengruppe (ML): “… Mit diesem Angriff auf das demokratische Recht der Meinungfreiheit setzt Gerth nur seinen Versuch fort, in individuellen Gesprächen durch Einladung zum Mittagessen aktive Studenten zu integrieren. Zieht die Bestechung nicht, dann wird zur Methode der Einschüchterung und schließlich des offenen Zwangs übergegangen.”
The names included Gerth’s colleagues such as Hans Speier, Gerhard Meyer, Herbert Marcuse, Franz Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Kurt Wolff, and some of Gerth’s ex-students.
Rüegg left Frankfurt with his assistants in March 1973 for the University of Bern.
Die 18 Bücher, die ich mir von Ihnen im Ws 72/73 ausgeliehen hatte, habe ich Ihnen zurückgeschickt. Nachdem Sie nun auch aus Kriftel 10 Meter Bücher erhalten habe, dürfte die leidige Bücherangelegenheit beendet sein.“
