| Research Abstract |
To ask “who is to be supported-” is important, when we take a look at the development of the German Familienfursorge (family care) system in the first half of the 20th century. In the discussion on the “Mutterschaftsversicherung (maternal insurance)”, which required the whole society to support mothers and children, the claim that the care were to be extended to illegitimate children was denied vehemently. So a legitimate nuclear family became to an ideal type of a family. Illegitimate children and its mothers were also included in the addressee of the State Support System for the Soldiers Families during the First World War, which claimed a huge amount of the people’s lives. But the Familienfurosrge system in the Weimar Era was built up on the basis of the State Support System for the Soldiers Families with the idealized family image in the pre-war period.
