English summary: For over 3000 thousand years he protected, ruled and stood for Egypt: the pharaoh. His person guaranteed the existence of the country, he defended it against its enemies and kept the world from falling into chaos. Over 330 kings from 30 dynasties ruled an empire that lasted longer than any other after it. Beginning with the description of the office, the work describes the role of the pharaoh as son of the sun, god himself, as well as his tasks as priest to the gods and his country. As a ruler he was mainly a warrior, a fact that every traveller to Egypt can see in countless pictures. But he also was at the top of the administration, chief justice and owner of everything below, on or above earth. German description: Uber 3000 Jahre schutzte er, regierte er, war er Agypten: der Pharao. Er garantierte mit seiner Person die Existenz des Landes, sicherte es gegen seine Feinde und bewahrte die Welt davor, ins “Chaos” abzugleiten. Uber 330 Konige aus 30 Dynastien regierten ein Reich, das langer bestand als jedes andere danach. Ausgehend von der Beschreibung des Amtes behandelt die Darstellung die Rolle des Pharaos als von Gott gezeugter Herrscher, als Sohn der Sonne, selbst Gott, sowie seine Aufgaben als Priester den Gottern des Landes gegenuber, fur deren Unterhalt er zu sorgen hatte. Als Herrscher war er vor allem Krieger, was jedem heutigen Agyptenreisenden in zahllosen Abbildungen vor Augen gefuhrt wird, aber auch die Spitze der Verwaltung, oberster Richter und Eigentumer von allem, was unter, auf oder uber der Erde war.
