| Research Abstract |
In Germany, the unemployment insurance was introduced at the beginning of the twentieth Century at communal level, whereas it was not prepared at national level. The main system of communal unemployment insurance was the Genter System, with which the municipalities paid subsidies to the trade unions that provided their out-of-work members with unemployment benefits. A survey of the political thought of communal administrators and a case study on the communities in Greater Berlin showed how the Genter System was introduced in the historical context. This study concluded hypothetically that the formation of the"Socialcity"was based on the public intervention for the promoting the collective attempt to realize the self-help.
