The number of people living in poverty is a question of definition and these definitions can vary between countries, so they are difficult to compare.

In comparison to third world countries or to Germany 150 years ago there is nearly no child poverty in Germany.

If we consider people living on social security money only as poor then in Germany (80 Million inhabitants) we have 1 Million children living on what the country considers the minimum amount to live. 2 Million more children live on not much more. That's a too big number, but I doubt that the number of children going to bed hungry is anywhere near the figures cited above.
