In comparison with other prehistoric times, children´s burials appear more common in the Corded Ware Culture. Especially multiple burials of children show the careful manner and the specific way in which these have been performed, and they also indicate a close social relationship between the buried individual and the obvious presence of family. The gender-specific foetal position and the found grave goods within these burials, often applicable to children, leave space for further discussion. The following essay will, on the one hand, present the better documented features for central and southern Germany which are important, on the other hand, it will also provide a wide perspective on archaeological evidence of the children of the Corded Ware Culture by more closely investigating the remaining regions. The aim is to awaken a greater interest for more comprehensive and analytical structured research work with regard to this theme.
