edited by Gernot Wilhelm
English Summary: The subject of the first symposium of the Max Freiherr von Oppenheim Foundation and of this anthology is the life’s work of the organization’s founder, in which – along with the archaeological excavations at Tell Halaf in northern Syria – the Bedouin of the Middle East play a central role. Kai Lammerhirt’s contribution takes us back to the very earliest phase of written testimony by camel-riding Arab Bedouin. Stefan Leder provides a comprehensive account of the social, political, economic and cultural aspects of Bedouin life in Arab societies from the Qur’anic period to the present day. Finally, Thomas Demmelhuber’s article looks at the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, that only attained statehood during the 20th century. German Description: Das Thema des I. Symposiums der Max Freiherr von Oppenheim-Stiftung und des vorliegenden Sammelbandes knupft an das Lebenswerk des Stifters an, in dem neben den archaologischen Ausgrabungen auf dem Tell Halaf in Nordsyrien die Beduinen Vorderasiens eine zentrale Rolle spielen. In die alteste Phase der schriftlich bezeugten, auf Kamelen reitenden arabischen Beduinen fuhrt der Beitrag von Kai Lammerhirt zuruck. Stefan Leder liefert eine umfassende Darstellung der gesellschaftlichen, politischen, okonomischen und kulturellen Aspekte der Beduinen in arabischen Gesellschaften von der koranischen Zeit bis in die Gegenwart. In dem Beitrag von Thomas Demmelhuber schliesslich geht es um die Lander der arabischen Halbinsel, die erst im 20. Jahrhundert eine eigene Staatlichkeit erlangten.
