Der Kreidekreis
**Der Kreidekreis** (The Chalk Circle) is a play—most famously Klabund's 1924 adaptation of a Chinese tale, later reworked by Bertolt Brecht as *The Caucasian Chalk Circle*—in which a judge uses a chalk circle test to determine the true mother of a child, ultimately rewarding the woman who lovingly cared for the child rather than the one claiming biological or legal rights.
