English summary: With the reopening of the Hildesheim Cathedral Museum in April 2015, one of the most extensive collections of church art had received spacious new facilities. Since 1985, the medieval church treasures from the cathedral and St. Michael’s church have belonged to the Hildesheim UNESCO-World Heritage Site. The focus of the new presentation is on artwork created between 1000 and 1250. In this period, Hildesheim was one of the leading religious and cultural centers in Europe but works of art from more recent historical periods are also exhibited, such as the Renaissance era rood-screen of the cathedral or the monumental tapestry-cycle from the early 17th century that contains the legend of Artemisia. The historical works stand as a counterpoint to works by contemporary artists such as Bernhard Heiliger, Arnulf Rainer, Gerd Winner or Emil Cimiotti. This richly illustrated publication offers a broad selection representing the main collection, including short texts and mostly new images. German description: Mit der Wiedereroffnung des Hildesheimer Dommuseums im April 2015 erhalt eine der herausragendsten Sammlungen kirchlicher Kunst neue Raumlichkeiten. Die aus den Kirchenschatzen des Domes und der Michaeliskirche stammenden mittelalterlichen Kunstwerke gehoren seit 1985 zum Hildesheimer UNESCO-Welterbe. Die Schwerpunkte der Neuprasentation liegen in der Kunst zwischen 1000 und 1250. In dieser Zeit war Hildesheim eines der europaweit fuhrenden geistigen und kulturellen Zentren. Daruber hinaus sind aber auch aus jungerer Zeit Hauptwerke ausgestellt, wie der Renaissance-Lettner des Domes oder der monumentale Gobelinzyklus mit der Artemisia-Legende aus dem fruhen 17. Jahrhundert. Den historischen Werken stehen als Kontrapunkte Arbeiten zeitgenossischer Kunstler gegenuber wie Bernhard Heiliger, Arnulf Rainer, Gerd Winner oder Emil Cimiotti. Die reich bebilderte Publikation stellt eine breite Auswahl der Hauptwerke in kurzen Texten und mit groatenteils neuen Abbildungen vor.
