In 1927, the establishment of an infant home in Axams aimed to address high infant mortality rates and support mothers in the aftermath of World War I. Martina Riedl explores the evolution of this facility into the provincial children's home, detailing its shifting pedagogical goals through significant historical events. By analyzing children's files and case histories from 1950-1980, the book provides insights into the accommodation conditions of the time and examines concepts like child welfare and institutional care within the context of child and youth welfare.
