German description: Der Band enthalt grossere Untersuchungen und kleinere Miszellen zu Werk und Wirkung des grossen Liederdichters Paul Gerhardt. Umfassend in den Blick genommen werden das Bild im Altarretabel der St. Moritzkirche Mittenwalde, mutmasslich des dortigen Pfarrers Inspiration zu O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, sowie anhand einer erhaltenen Leichenpredigt sein Umgang mit Trauer, Sterben und Tod. Zwei Beitrage widmen sich der Rezeption des profilierten Lutheraners in reformierten Gesangbuchern. Thema sind ausserdem Anagramme in Befiehl du deine Wege, die Aufdeckung einer Gerhardt-Falschung und die Bedeutung von Geh aus mein Herz und weiteren Liedern im Werk der Bachmann-Preistragerin Helga Schubert. Mit Beitragen von Gunter Balders, Anja Conrad, Konrad Klek, Irmgard Scheitler und Susanne Weichenhan. English summary: The volume contains major studies and smaller miscellanea on the work and impact of the great songwriter Paul Gerhardt. It examines comprehensively the picture in the altar retable of St. Moritz church in Mittenwalde, presumably the inspiration for O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, as well as his handling of mourning, dying and death on the basis of a preserved funeral sermon. Two contributions are devoted to the reception of the prominent Lutheran in Reformed hymnals. Other topics include anagrams in Befiehl du deine Wege, the discovery of a Gerhardt forgery, and the significance of Geh aus mein Herz and other songs in the work of Helga Schubert, winner of the Bachmann Prize.
