The article presents information on the establishment of the section social policy in the German society for sociology 25 years ago. Several times the author was lately demanded to the more precise circumstances and the date of the foundation of the section social policy. The foundation meeting of the section social policy was found on the occasion of the conference on February 24 and 25, 1978. The author says that the composition of the control committee should document on which it arrived the founders of the section. It should affirm on the one hand the requirement of the sociology to participate in the scientific definition and the solution of sociopolitical problems. However, one will have to concede self-critically that the section has already gone away by the choice of her first working subjects from the questions of the economy and the sociopolitical practice and has remained in spite of occasional approaches to interdisciplinarity and practice relevance in the essentials of an internal-sociological affair.
