OBJECTIVES: The focus is on the historical reconstruction of community work. Two questions
are important in this context: (1) Why is community work becoming increasingly important in
social work today? (2) How has community work developed from a social work method to its own
theoretical and analytical approach? THEORETICAL BASE: The history of community work
draws attention to the relationship between the objective structures of disadvantaged dwelling
areas and the behaviour, thinking, consciousness, and self-understanding of its dwellers because of
their disadvantaged dwelling condition and how these conditions can be changed together with the
dwellers. METHODS: The article focuses on the reconstruction of the history of community work
from its beginning and in the newer history in Europe and especially in Germany in relationship
to social work and social policy. OUTCOMES: The article describes the historical development
of community work as an approach of a socio-spatial social work against the background of the
social change in modern societies. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The article reflects the
historical development of community work from a method to its own theoretical and practical
approach of social work in specific socio-spatial contexts.
