How did women and men live from "good family" relationships beyond the laws and conventions, and how did they deal with their consequences? A recently appeared source, the "Geheime Buch" of the Göttingen maternity hospital, provides new, surprising perspectives. After detective decryption, the book provides deep insights into inappropriate couple constellations, hidden births, and hidden childhoods. The means by which the secrecy strategies were implemented to save the family honor as well as the consequences that resulted for women, men and their secretive children. At the same time, one aspect of the maternity clinic becomes apparent, which used to be in the dark: the "secret" births. In light of current debates on anonymous or confidential births, this specific function of the hospital is of particular importance.
