English summary: In the first millennium BCE, the Illyrians settled in the area between Bosnia and central Albania. They left behind impressive archaeological remains, such as the magnificently decorated giant burial mounds of their princes. These archaeological finds are evidence of a warlike people of seafarers and farmers. Although there is no textual evidence of the Illyrian language, rudimentary features of it can be derived from names of persons, for example, and their presumed continuation in later times can be verified. In this well-founded study, Andreas Lippert and Joachim Matzinger present for the first time a systematic account of the Illyrians, taking into account both onomastic and also archaeological sources. German description: Im 1. Jahrtausend v. Chr. besiedelten die Illyrer den Raum zwischen Bosnien und Mittelalbanien. Die Illyrer haben beeindruckende archaologische Zeugnisse hervorgebracht, wie etwa die prunkvoll ausgestatteten Riesengrabhugel ihrer Fursten. Diese archaologischen Funde dokumentieren ein kriegerisches Volk von Seefahrern und Bauern. Und obwohl die illyrische Sprache selbst keine Textzeugnisse hinterlassen hat, lassen sich beispielsweise aus den Personennamen auch rudimentare Merkmale der illyrischen Sprache ermitteln und ihre vermeintliche Fortsetzung in spateren Zeiten uberprufen. Andreas Lippert und Joachim Matzinger legen mit ihrer fundierten Studie erstmalig eine systematische Darstellung der Illyrer vor, die sowohl onomastische als auch archaologische Quellen berucksichtigt.
