Patterns of Childhood, originally published as "Kindheitsmuster" in German, is a book written by Christa Wolf and published in 1976.
 Christa Wolf was a prominent author from East Germany known for works such as Divided Heaven [Der Geteilte Himmel] and Kassandra.
 Although "Patterns of Childhood" is not an autobiography, it has parallels with Wolf's own childhood in Nazi Germany.
 It is set in multiple time periods and locations, with the primary narratives revolving around the second-person narrator's childhood in Nazi Germany, her return to her hometown as an adult, and her reflections while writing.
 "Patterns" explores themes of memory, Nazism, and guilt.
 Thus it provides insight into the upbringings of those who lived under totalitarian regimes, and problems that arise from such a childhood.
