Zöglinge (1974)

The documentary focuses on a children's home in East Berlin. In 1953, the largest children's home in the GDR was established in Königsheide. Initially built to house war orphans, the educational institution quickly became the GDR's model home and was given the name "Kinderkombinat A.S. Makarenko." From the mid-1960s onwards, "state children" were to be raised here according to the slogan "Ideal home in an ideal state."
