English summary: Philipp Jakob Spener was the founder of the pietist movement. His letters are very important for the research on the early modern age, not only for church history but also for social history and the history of ideas. Volume III of the “Dresdner Briefe” contains 141 letters, in which particularly the emergence of the term “pietists” is presented and also the controversy between Spener and the Elector Johann Georg III of Saxony. It was this controversy which led to Spener’s move from Dresden to Berlin. One of the important political subjects dealt with is the War of the Palatine Succession between the French King Louis XIV and the German Empire, and the consequences of this war. German description: Die Briefe Philipp Jakob Speners, des Begrunders des Pietismus, sind fur die Kirchen- und Kulturgeschichte Quellen allerersten Ranges. Sie gewahren Einblick in das Werden und die Ausbreitung der pietistischen Bewegung und sind daruber hinaus von einzigartigem Informationswert fur viele Gebiete des geistigen und gesellschaftlichen Lebens auch ausserhalb des religios-kirchlichen Raumes. Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet 141 Briefe aus dem Jahr 1689. Fur die Entstehung des Pietismus ist er von hochster Bedeutung, weil sich in diesen Briefen der Beginn der in Leipzig entstandenen Auseinandersetzungen und die Entstehung des Namens “Pietisten” widerspiegelt, zudem die Auseinandersetzung mit dem sachsischen Kurfursten Johann Georg III., die den Anstoss dazu gab, dass Spener im Jahr 1691 Dresden verliess, um Propst in Berlin zu werden. Als politisch wichtiges Thema erscheint der Pfalzische Erbfolgekrieg mit seinen Folgen.
