English summary: The introduction of the Reformation in a territory or an imperial city forced regional rulers and city authorities to provide their communities with new ordinances for numerous areas of church life. These had many implications reaching far beyond church issues, and extended into the political and legal life of the regions involved. The present volume completes the work started in the 1950s to edit the church ordinances of Lower Saxony. While the Reformation was not introduced into the county of Schaumburg until after the 1555 Religious Peace of Augsburg, it had already gained a foothold in the cities of Goslar and Bremen in the 1520s. In contrast to Goslar, which clung to Lutheranism and also adhered to the Formula of Concord, the city of Bremen changed over to the Reformed faith. German description: Mit der Einfuhrung der Reformation in einem Territorium oder einer Reichsstadt waren die Landesherren und Magistrate gezwungen, ihren Gemeinwesen fur zahlreiche Bereiche des kirchlichen Lebens neue Ordnungen zu geben. Vielfach wirkten die erlassenen Ordnungen aber weit uber den Rahmen des kirchlichen Lebens hinaus auch auf das politische und rechtliche Geschehen in den jeweiligen Gebieten. Mit dem vorliegenden Band findet die in den funfziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts begonnene Bearbeitung der Ordnungen des Landes Niedersachsen ihren Abschluss. Wahrend die Reformation in der Grafschaft Schaumburg erst nach dem Augsburger Religionsfrieden von 1555 eingefuhrt wurde, konnte sie in den beiden Stadten Goslar und Bremen bereits in den zwanziger Jahren des 16. Jahrhunderts Fuss fassen. Im Unterschied zu Goslar, das am Luthertum festhielt und sich auch dem Konkordienwerk anschloss, kam es in Bremen zu einem Ubergang der Stadt zur reformierten Konfession.
