English summary: The 16th century’s protestant church ordinances originated against a backdrop of reformatory upheaval. They established regulatory structures by redefining church offices, liturgy, sermons and services according to new evangelical teaching. Many however also had an effect on life beyond the church and spilled over into community life. The Rhine-Westphalia region presents a heterogeneous landscape of the Reformation’s launch, not only having been heavily territorially fragmented, but also confessionally diverse. After numerous land chieftains and town magistrates had inaugurated Lutheran Reformation in the 1530s, several rulers initiated further change by introducing John Calvin’s reformed theology. German description: Evangelische Kirchenordnungen entstanden im 16. Jahrhundert vor dem Hintergrund des reformatorischen Umbruchs. Sie trugen ordnende Strukturen in die Kirche ein, indem sie Amter, Liturgie, Predigt und Gottesdienst gemass der evangelischen Lehre neu definierten. Viele Kirchenordnungen wirkten aber auch in das gesellschaftliche Leben hinein.Der rheinisch-westfalische Raum stellt hinsichtlich der Reformationseinfuhrung eine heterogene Landschaft dar. Er war nicht nur territorial stark zersplittert, sondern auch konfessionell vielgestaltig. Nachdem zahlreiche Territorialherren und stadtische Magistrate in den 1530er Jahren die Reformation lutherischer Pragung eingefuhrt hatten, leiteten einige Fursten in der zweiten Halfte des Jahrhunderts den Wechsel zum reformierten, an der Theologie Johannes Calvins ausgerichteten, Bekenntnis ein.
