criticism

During his professorship at the Free University of Berlin, criticism of his person was loud because he appeared to students as "humiliating, disrespectful and choleric" and threatened to be de-registered. Siebenhaar denied this.

In addition, the IKM and Siebenhaar came under fire because the suspicion was expressed in several cases that people had received professorships in exchange for donations or third-party funds to the institute. The former managing director of the Mercator Foundation Bernhard Lorentz, whose foundation paid 160,000 euros between 2009 and 2011, is named as a well-known case. In 2011 Bernhard Lorentz was appointed honorary professor.
