Between 1990 and 1994 he was a member of the Senate of the University of Würzburg. In 1993 he was offered a chair for political theory at the University of Erfurt , which he refused. In 2003 he retired .

The memorial was indexed as a whole, which is based on a decision of the Tübingen District Court on June 3, 1998 (file number 4 Gs 1085/97). The reason was a footnote in Latin written under the contribution of a sociologist, which, in the opinion of the judges, constituted the offense of “Holocaust denial”.
