English summary: Gershom Scholem is not only considered a modern classic in the area of Jewish Mysticism, the research discipline he founded, but also as an original thinker in 20th century Judaism. The relationship between Germans and Jews, which Scholem always scrutinized particularly critically, was part of his life in different periods: as a school pupil in the German Empire, as a student in the Weimar Republic, as a professor in Jerusalem after his emigration while relatives and friends such as Walter Benjamin were fleeing Nazi persecution, and eventually as an internationally, well-renowned Israeli scholar, who came to the Federal Republic more and more often in order to give lectures. This volume combines contributions and previously unpublished source material on his biography, his fellow academics and on the research topics that connected Scholem to Germany. German description: Gershom Scholem steht nicht nur in der von ihm begrundeten Forschungsdisziplin zur judischen Mystik im Rang eines modernen Klassikers, sondern auch als origineller Denker im Judentum des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Beziehung von Deutschen und Juden, die Scholem besonders kritisch hinterfragte, gehorte in unterschiedlichen Etappen zu seiner Lebensgeschichte: als Schuler im deutschen Kaiserreich, als Student in der Weimarer Republik, nach seiner Auswanderung als Professor in Jerusalem, wahrend seine Verwandten und Freunde wie Walter Benjamin vor der nationalsozialistischen Verfolgung flohen, und schliesslich als international hochangesehener israelischer Gelehrter, der immer haufiger zu Vortragen in die Bundesrepublik kam. Der Band vereinigt Beitrage mit bisher unveroffentlichtem Quellenmaterial zu seiner Biographie, seinen Gesprachspartnern und den Forschungsthemen, die Scholem mit Deutschland verbanden.
