English summary: In the struggle that succeeded the collapse of Alexander the Great’s empire, the family of Ptolemy took all of Egypt, which ruled at pharaohs until the incorporation of Egypt into the Roman Empire. Within their three-hundred year rule, the Ptolemaic dynasty established Egypt as the most important, influential and most economically prosperous of the Hellenistic kingdoms, the last ruler of which, Queen Cleopatra, continues to fascinate the world down to the present day. This book takes the reader on a trip through the history of Egypt in the Hellenistic period and examines the foundation of the multicultural world that existed along the banks of the Nile. Following the succession of the pharaohs, the reader will discover the political history of Egypt and get insights into the social, economic and religious history of Ptolemaic Egypt as well as a view into everyday life. German description: Nach dem Zerfall des alexandrinischen Grossreiches ubernahmen in den Diadochenkampfen die Ptolemaer ganz Agypten, das sie als Pharaonen bis zur Eingliederung in das romische Weltreich regierten. Unter ihrer 300-jahrigen Herrschaft etablierte sich Agypten zum wichtigsten, einflussreichsten und wirtschaftlich prosperierendsten Diadochenreich – die letzte Herrscherin, Cleopatra, fasziniert bis heute. Das Buch nimmt den Leser mit auf eine Reise durch die Geschichte Agyptens in der hellenistischen Zeit und vermittelt die Grundlagen der antiken multikulturellen Welt am Ufer des Nils. Entlang der Reihe der Pharaonen wird der Leser in die Politikgeschichte Agyptens eingefuhrt, gewinnt aber auch Einblicke in die Alltags-, Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Religionsgeschichte.
