Yes, and we got a second round of founding, well Ken Tobin did.

These here are easy, I think:

Holzkamp, K. (1991). Societal and individual life processes. In C. W.
Tolman & W. Maiers (eds), Critical psychology: Contributions to an
historical science of the subject (pp. 50-64). Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press.
Tolman, C. W. (1994). Psychology, society, and subjectivity: An
introduction to German critical psychology. New York: Routledge.

For those who read German, they can find a few texts on the web:

http://www.critical-psychology.de/index.htm

Otherwise, I think it is difficult to access his texts. By the way,
he is cited a few times in the Chaiklin and Lave (1993) book. There
is also a Danish counseling psychologist, Ole Dreier, who comes out
of the Holzkamp school. His texts are more widely available, in
English. Among others, a chapter in the Chaiklin/Lave edited volume.
