English summary: Decorative paintings in courtly wall decorations form a hitherto hardly studied ty-pe of rococo picture of ambiguous status: they are neither autonomous panel painting nor mere decoration. This enables commissioners and artists to explore new avenues of design. Paintings in German and Austrian palace interiors show that the content loses its expressiveness and the formal side of art gains importance. This is a fundamental change in a conception of art that points ahead to modernism with meta-artistic approaches and an aesthetic emphasizing form. German description: Dekorative Gemalde in hofischen Wandausstattungen bilden einen bisher kaum untersuchten Bildtypus des Rokoko – mit uneindeutigem Status: Sie sind weder autonomes Tafelbild noch blosser Schmuck. Gerade dies ermoglicht es Auftraggeber:innen und Kunstler:innen, neue Wege der Gestaltung zu gehen. An Malereien in deutschen und osterreichischen Schlossinnenraumen wird gezeigt, wie Bildinhalte an Aussagekraft verlieren und die formale, dekorative Seite der Kunst enorm an Bedeutung gewinnt. Erkennbar wird der grundlegende Wandel einer Kunstauffassung, die mit metakunstlerischen Ansatzen und einer formbetonten Asthetik auf die Moderne vorausweist.
