English summary: Since its foundation by Wilhelm Lohe in 1854 the Diakonie Neuendettelsau has been committed at an international level. A particular focus of diaconal activities was geographically on the United States. In cooperation with pastors of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Iowa the deaconesses of Neuendettelsau were engaged in building up a Lutheran Christian social service. This publication makes available extensive and coherent source material treating the pioneering days of the American history of Christian social services, for the first time, to international research. Furthermore it provides insights into the multicultural and multireligious immigrant society of the 19th century in the U.S.A. German description: Seit der Grundung durch Wilhelm Lohe im Jahr 1854 engagierte sich die Diakonissenanstalt Neuendettelsau auch auf internationaler Ebene. Ein Schwerpunkt ihrer diakonischen Aktivitaten lag in den Vereinigten Staaten. Zusammen mit Pastoren der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Synode von Iowa beteiligten sich Neuendettelsauer Diakonissen von 1857 bis 1877 am Aufbau einer lutherischen Anstaltsdiakonie. Die mit diesem Buch vorgelegte Quellenedition stellt der internationalen Forschung erstmals umfangreiches und zusammenhangendes Material aus der Pionierzeit der amerikanischen Diakoniegeschichte zur Verfugung. Sie bietet daruber hinaus Einblicke in die multikulturelle und multireligiose Einwanderergesellschaft der USA im 19. Jahrhundert.
