The tradition and legal framework of modern civil service stipulate a close connection between the personal and professional areas of life. Thus, gender and marital status of a person in civil service also had an influence on professional matters.
In the lecture, the traditional division of labour in civil servants‘ families will be traced to demonstrate how it became undermined with an increasing share of women in civil service since the second half of the 19th century. Drawing on exampes from disciplinary fies of the 1920s-1930s, it will be shown in how far traditional ideas about famifies were questioned or continued to exist.
