Sažetak
The paper draws attention to the fundamental features of the social welfare system in the city of Osijek. The author analyzes the historical development of social assistance and social welfare, the basic principles of social policy and elements of the social welfare system in the city of Osijek in the late 19th and the early 20th century. Social welfare as an independent administrative branch of administration belonged to the autonomous affairs of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia, and to the administrative law. Caring and activity in the social welfare belonged to the local government. So, the supply of the poor was the responsibility of the municipality. Thus, in terms of social welfare in the cities of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia, what was relevant was the legal article 72 of the Law on the organization of the city municipality of 21 June 1895, pursuant to which, the sphere of the city council also includes the supply of the poor. However, apart from these general institutions, statutes created in urban repesentations and approved by the government, also contain special institutions concerning the social welfare foundations, sharing support and management. Therefore, the city representation of Osijek in 1902 drafted a statute which regulated the supply of the poor in the city of Osijek. Also, in addition to the so called social welfare cash registers for helping the poor, there were also individuals who were the founders of such foundations. Consequently, in this paper we are going to describe the activities of a few foundations in Osijek which were established during the 19th and 20th centuries, and which distinguished themselves for their actions about the care for the infirm and the poor. Special attention was paid to the description of the protection of children without parents (orphans) which fell under the city protection because there was a city poverty office within the city (the Poverty commission and the treasury).
