Abstract
About two dozen children's poems presented here are about dolls. Very many draw on Mörike's "Children's Scene" from 1864, a small play scene in which the doll doctor calms the worried mother. The background is the high infant mortality rate in the 19th century. The texts provide vivid insights into the social structure of the family (mother – daughter, sister – brother).
