Before 1914 Germany was unable to feed itself adequately on home produced food and had to import foodstuffs. In World War 1, Britain blockaded Germany - that is the British Navy prevented food reaching Germany by sea. The German chemical industries responded by producing fertilizers that increased yield per acre, but there were still shortages. At the same time, German U-boats were trying to starve Britain into surrender.

When did food rationing and world war 2 end in Germany?
Food rationing basically ended when the food ran out. Germans were starving because the Allies had done so much bombing on Germany the country was basically leveled. Hitler did not care about the German people. He did not try to get food for his people or his warriors. After the German's gave up the United States and other countries sent Germany food and West Germany and Berlin food staples for many years. They helped them with seeds and farm implements to regrow the foods they needed. Animals were supplied too since so many had been killed during the bombing campaign.

What was a families weekly food shopping in world war 2?
I am not quite sure but i think that it depends on what country you lived in during World War II. If you lived in Germany during World War II and you were a German I guess you would go to food markets and get fruit, bread and whatever else you could afford. But if you lived in Germany and you were a Jew you would most likely have been taken away to a concentration camp and they would give you small servings of food such as a spoonful of potato or a small slice of bread. Also I don't think that many people went shopping weekly during World War II. I hope that was a good enough answer for you and I am sorry if it wasn't good enough.
