The notion that the “Founding Fathers” generation of West German Political Science included irreproachable persons, who did not burden themselves with guilt during National Socialist times, has most recently been questioned by the example of Theodor Eschenburg. Based on extensive sources, the present investigation analyses the role that Michael Freund played between 1933-1945 before he was appointed a professorship for the “Science and History of Politics” in Kiel in 1951. His example also suggests that the image of the founding generation should be differentiated. Simple categorical attributions, such as “burdened” or “involved”, are only sufficient enough to enable limited clarification because they do not appropriately reflect the inconsistency of action during the “Third Reich”.
