English summary: Dorothea Wendebourg presents ten essays published in various places between 1984 and 1998. These essays, which have now been arranged according to subject, cover a wide span of time and history. They focus mainly on the Byzantine Middle Ages and the Reformation, but there is also an essay on an Early Church subject and discussions on modern ecclesiastical and theological history. In all the articles, Dorothea Wendebourg deals with subjects which are important for the ecumenical dialog between Eastern and Western churches and among Western churches as well. Thus beyond the relevance of current discussions she examines the feasibility of the historical foundations on which some of these dialogs are based. German description: Dorothea Wendebourg legt zehn Studien vor, die zwischen 1984 und 1998 an unterschiedlichen Orten erschienen sind. Die nun thematisch angeordneten Beitrage umfassen eine weite geschichtliche Spanne. Die Schwerpunkte liegen in der Geschichte der Orthodoxen Kirche und in der Reformationszeit. Dazu kommen ein Aufsatz zu einem Thema der Alten Kirche und Erorterungen zur neuesten Kirchen- und Theologiegeschichte. In allen Beitragen beschaftigt sich Dorothea Wendebourg mit Gegenstanden, die in der okumenischen Diskussion – sowohl zwischen ostlichen und westlichen als auch zwischen westlichen Kirchen – von Belang sind. Damit pruft sie jenseits der Aktualitat der gegenwartigen Debatten die Tragfahigkeit dort in Anspruch genommener historischer Fundamente.
