[4] Kunzelmann was recognized as the "chief theorist" of Gruppe SPUR, which was a artists' collective emerging out of Schwabing, a city borough in Munich famed for its creative scene.
In January 1959 Gruppe SPUR staged the "Bense-Happening", inviting an audience to listen to incomprehensible lectures by Max Bense on tape.
[7] In September 1964 Kunzelmann and Dutschke agreed a program of action to abolish "the regime of the achievement principle (Leistungsprinzip) which is particularly manifest in the contaminated psyche of people living in a consumer society".
[10] Kunzelmann went on to establish "Go-Ins" in Berlin, were activists engaged in walking demonstrations on crowded shopping streets, distributing anti-Vietnam War leaflets in gift wrapped boxes.
Shopping malls became the focus of political agitation, after Dutschke published a text on revolution in Latin America, advocating for the establishment of a countermilieu (Gegenmilieu).
Historians are arguing to this day, about whether Kunzelmann as key operator of the Far Left in West Berlin is to blame for instigating these acts of terrorism.
