After this year, FDP and RCDS are results of the "Socialist German Student League" confused, it's about time to deal with the history of this left students association of the old West Germany.
The founding congress of the SDS as the near-SPD Student Association took place from 2 to 6 September 1946 in the Elbschlossbrauerei and in the hall of Ufa Harvestehude in Hamburg. Delegates came from 20 institutions of higher learning. Hamburg was a favorable result of incorporation, as in the British zone, the students most likely been given the opportunity, political campus groups to start. One of the first chairman of the SDS was the hamburger and later chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Back in the "Eschwege Policies after the currency reform of 1948 appeared to complete a claim for tuition and material security of students. The introduction of a fee study was required because the study was understood as "work for the company." The national chairman Ulrich Lohmar from Hamburg was more practical for ad hoc responses to the Adenauer government and the tradition of the labor movement. He was at that time employees of the sociologist Helmut Schelsky at the Academy for Community Economics. "
in January 1959 was held in West Berlin a student congress against the nuclear armament of the Bundeswehr instead. In addition to members of the SPD was also attended by members of the concrete-editors, who was based in Hamburg, participate. The Congress, which ran on negotiations with the GDR and the reunification of Germany, was vilified in the press as "gravediggers of freedom." Some months later, in Frankfurt, a "Congress for Democracy - against militarism and Restoration" instead. Again, the concrete group again took control and pushed through the call for a unilateral disarmament of Germany, which did not please critics in the SPD and the SED SDS. A short time later, the National Chairman Oswald Hüller by SDS-national board deposed and put an incompatibility with the decision of the editorial staff in concrete terms. The SPD was startled by the infiltration of the concrete group and ultimately the lack of backing for the removal Hüller and began the "Social Democratic Student Federation" SHB build. Early 1960, the SHB was officially recognized by the SPD. The SDS was now no more funds and was later filled with an incompatible resolution. The SHB accused the SDS, to maintain direct relations with the SED and to support actions which were previously run in East Berlin. The assessment of infiltration or control of the SDS by (Eastern) Communists but is wrong. Rather, SDS was attractive for a new youth, the autonomous politics beyond the large-scale organizations would make the old labor movement. After
had now settled the ongoing issue "relative to the SPD" for the SDS, it was possible to pursue new questions: What location and what function does the socialist intelligentsia in the class society? Can science be a revolutionary force of production? How can the SDS mobilize politicize its target groups, students and social-scientific and technical intelligence? The SDS has always seen itself more as a theoretical vanguard organization, the majority of the bourgeois intelligentsia for emancipatory goals gewinnen wollte, und nicht mehr als Rekrutierungsfeld für Führungspositionen der traditionellen Arbeiterbewegung. Es begann eine Phase, in der eine Wieder- und Neuaneignung der im Faschismus zerstörten Denktraditionen und Denkbewegungen Marxismus, Psychoanalyse und Kritische Theorie stattfand. Die Frankfurter Schule Horkheimers, Adornos und Marcuses wurde wieder entdeckt. Im Zentrum standen die Fragen: „Wie ist Auschwitz möglich gemacht worden?“ und „Wie ist die Herrschaft von Menschen über Menschen abzuschaffen?“.
Mitte der 60er Jahre gab es ein Bedürfnis westdeutscher Studierender zu Kontakten zu Studis im Ostblock. Der „Verband deutscher Studentenschaften“ hatte seine strikt ablehnende Attitude changed. Especially with the GDR, but contacts were difficult because the state did not exist for Germany. FDJ representatives had expected to be arrested in West Germany. In 1964, the SDS-Federation took part the first time with an official delegation to the meeting of the Germany-FDJ in East Berlin. This called for the end of the SDS political justice in Germany. The Hamburg SDS had contacts with the FDJ District Association of the University of Greifswald. They performed in Hamburg and Greifswald a multi-day joint seminar. For their criticism of the socialist East German socialism were the representatives of the Hamburg SDS minute-long applause in Greifswald. Then there was but no longer in contact with each other.
