Abstract (English):From a welfare state perspective the question arises whether in the context of the first two major waves of the pandemic one can actually speak of a return to the so-called traditional family. The author takes a look at processes of making family in welfare state practices and discourses and how these have changed since the beginning of the pandemic. First, he outlines a welfare state approach towards childhood and family. In doing so, the welfare state is described in a broad understanding that extends beyond the concrete policy of a government and also encompasses a political sphere fought out in arenas. Hereafter he looks at the process of transition from a distributive to a social investment type of welfare state, which is central to Western Europe. Then he would like to discuss to what extent the pandemic represents an interruption in this process. It turns out that there were at least two phases in the making of families in the context of the pandemic: one of irritation and one of restoration of the social investment pattern of (early) childhood.
