English summary: The work covers the fundamental aspects of war in general and medieval war especially. Within this context the following questions are addressed: What were the reasons of waging war in the middle ages? What types of war were known to the middle ages (genocide, civil war, expansive war, etc.)? Who fought these conflicts and by what means? What was the war’s impact on non-combatants? Common cliches on war in the middle ages are scrutinized though contemporary research. Following contemporary academic opinion modern wars show medieval tendencies, at the same time medieval wars are quite modern when looked at closely. An academically sound and easy to read textbook on the phenomena of war in the middle ages. German description: Das Buch beschaftigt sich mit grundlegenden Aspekten des Krieges im Allgemeinen und mittelalterlicher Kriege im Besonderen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird unter anderem folgenden Fragen nachgegangen: Aus welchen Grunden fuhrte man im Mittelalter einen Krieg? Welche Arten von Krieg (Genozid, “Burgerkrieg”, Expansionskrieg usw.) kannte das Mittelalter? Wer hat diese Konflikte ausgefochten? Welche Mittel wurden dabei eingesetzt? Wie wirkten sich Kriege auf Nichtkombattanten aus? – Lieb gewordene Klischees uber den Krieg im Mittelalter werden anhand der aktuellen Forschung auf den Prufstand gestellt. Zeigen aktuelle Kriege nach einhelliger Forschungsmeinung typisch mittelalterliche Zuge, so erweisen sich umgekehrt mittelalterliche Kriege bei genauerem Hinsehen als uberraschend modern. Ein leicht lesbares, wissenschaftlich fundiertes Studienbuch zum Phanomen der Kriege in der Zeit des Mittelalters.
