English summary: The states of Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea and Somalia together form what is known as the Horn of Africa, on the eastern tip of the African continent. The region is characterized by cultural diversity, with Christian and Muslim influences encountering each other, and it has had close ties with Europe since ancient times. At the turn of the 21st century, the Horn of Africa became an international trouble spot & for example, due to the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia and the disintegration of Somalia, which was ravaged by Islamist terrorism. Alfred Schlicht traces the region=s history, from discoveries of early human remains to the period of great-power rivalry, colonialism, and hopes for reconciliation in recent years. The very latest events are thus placed in a broader context historically and geographically, in a well-grounded and readable way. German description: Die Staaten Athiopien, Dschibuti, Eritrea und Somalia bilden zusammen das sogenannte Horn von Afrika an der Ostspitze des afrikanischen Kontinents. Kulturelle Vielfalt pragt diese Region, christliche und muslimische Einflusse treffen aufeinander und zu Europa bestehen bereits seit der Antike enge Verbindungen. Um die Wende zum 21. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich das Horn von Afrika zu einem internationalen Krisenherd, bspw. durch den Krieg zwischen Eritrea und Athiopien und den Zerfall des vom islamischen Terror heimgesuchten Somalia. Alfred Schlicht spannt den Bogen von den fruhen Menschenfunden uber die Grossmachterivalitaten, den Kolonialismus bis hin zu den Versohnungsambitionen in den letzten Jahren. Fundiert und gut lesbar werden auf diese Weise brandaktuelle Ereignisse historisch und geographisch in einen erweiterten Kontext eingeordnet.
