German description: Gemeinsam unterwegs als Soldat und Christ – unter diesem Titel feiert die heutige Cornelius-Vereinigung (CoV) e.V. – Christen in der Bundeswehr das 125-jahrige Bestehen ihrer Gemeinschaft. Das Jubilaum legt einen Ruckblick nahe, bei dem sich u. a. Fragen stellen wie: Was hat diese Soldaten als Christen bewegt und gepragt? Wie konnte und kann eine Gemeinschaft, die sich zum christlichen Glauben bekennt, im militarischen Kontext – auch der Bundeswehr- bestehen? Die Antworten finden sich in wissenschaftlichen Aufsatzen namhafter Autoren und werden erganzt durch die personlichen Erfahrungen von Zeitzeugen der Cornelius-Vereinigung (CoV). Sie gehen dem Thema Gemeinschaft nach, ihrem Ziel, Ort und ihrer Form. Konsequenterweise fuhren die Beitrage zum Selbstverstandnis dieser berufsspezifischen Gemeinschaft und einem perspektivischen Ausblick junger Offiziere, die an der Bundeswehruniversitat in Munchen studieren. English summary: “Together on the road as soldier and Christian” – this is the title under which today’s “Cornelius-Vereinigung (CoV) e.V. -Christen in der Bundeswehr” celebrates the 125th anniversary of its community. The anniversary suggests a retrospective in which such questions arise: What moved and influenced these soldiers as Christians? How could and can a community professing the Christian faith survive in the military context – including the German armed forces? The answers can be found in academic essays by renowned authors and are supplemented by the personal experiences of contemporary witnesses of the “Cornelius-Vereinigung (CoV)”. They explore the topic of “community”, its aim, place and form. Consequently, the contributions lead to the self-conception of this community based on a specific profession and a perspectival outlook of young officers studying at the Universitat der Bundeswehr Munchen.
