English summary: Charlemagne is probably the most well-known ruler of the Middle Ages: the most important offspring of the Carolingians, as a “constructor of Europe”, he coined the times in the long-term and fascinated subsequent generations. This new biography of Charlemagne contains a breadth of information on his life through a compact and clear structure: his achievements as a conqueror, as the administrator of his empire, and as a judge, a controller of the church, defender of Christianity, and a friend of scholars and supporter of science. This leads to a life account and history of the time of Charlemagne that is definitely worth reading. German description: Karl der Grosse (748-814) ist wohl der bekannteste Herrscher des Mittelalters. Als bedeutendster Vertreter der Karolinger, als “Baumeister Europas”, pragte er seine Zeit nachhaltig und fasziniert die nachfolgenden Generationen bis heute. Diese neue Biographie vermittelt kompakt und dennoch anschaulich eine grosse Fulle von Informationen zu Karls Leben: Seine Leistungen als Eroberer, als Verwalter seines Reiches und als Richter, als Lenker der Kirche und Verteidiger des Christentums, als Freund der Gelehrten und Forderer der Wissenschaft. Die Darstellung seines Kaisertums, seiner Beziehungen zu den benachbarten Volkern und Reichen, aber auch seines Nachruhms als idealer Herrscher bietet einen differenzierten Blick auf die Personlichkeit des grossen Karolingers.
