Abstract
The Geographers' Day in Kiel in 1969 was a milestone in locating German academic human geography within the interplay of scientific practice, theoretical propositions, and everyday teaching. To commemorate the place and the debates 50 years ago, Kiel again became a place of reflection in 2019. This article, in a deliberately personal way, attempts to locate the impulses emanating from "Kiel 1969" in the everyday academic life of the Geographical Institute of the Technical University of Munich in the 1980s, thereby putting them into perspective. This creates a differentiated picture of groundbreaking changes and persistent structures that, interwoven, characterized Munich's social geography, which was nationally renowned at the time – and were significant for German-speaking human geography beyond the specific conditions in Munich.
