!!!Kinderübernahmestelle

Kinderuebernahmestelle (Foster Care Service) was established in Vienna 
to take care of children who lack the protective atmosphere of home 
for short or long periods and are therefore placed with municipal 
institutions. The Foster Care Service was founded in 1925 by J.  
Tandler and was the first European institution that placed neglected 
children into institutional or foster care. Since the 60s more 
emphasis has been put on the psychological well-being of young people 
and on establishing small homelike units (cottage system) for 
neglected young people. Today the Foster Care Service is an 
institution of the Youth Welfare Office of Vienna.
