English summary: In the Middle Ages, silk was the preferred textile material for expressing wealth and status. While luxury fabrics were imported from Byzantium and Spain until the 13th century, silk fabrics from the Mongolian Empire arrived in the West after 1300. Patterns composed of Chinese, Persian, and Muslim motifs carried a new aesthetic to Europe. The book deals with garments and objects from panni tartarici, which have been preserved in tombs, church treasures and museum collections. Based on the form and function of the textiles, sources, texts and images show how the clergy and nobility acquired the foreign material. By examining regions of origin and tracing the routes of silk to the West, the study addresses globalization in the pre-modern era. German description: Im Mittelalter war Seide das bevorzugte textile Material, um Reichtum und Status zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Wurden Luxusgewebe bis zum 13. Jahrhundert aus Byzanz und Spanien importiert, so gelangten nach 1300 Seidenstoffe aus dem mongolischen Grossreich in den Westen. Die aus chinesischen, persischen und muslimischen Motiven komponierten Muster trugen eine neue Asthetik nach Europa. Das Buch behandelt Gewander und Objekte aus panni tartarici, die in Grabern, Kirchenschatzen und musealen Sammlungen erhalten geblieben sind. Anhand von Form und Funktion der Textilien wird unter Einbeziehung von Quellen, Texten und Bildern gezeigt, wie Klerus und Adel sich das fremde Material aneigneten. Indem Herkunftsregionen untersucht und Wege der Seide nach Westen nachgezeichnet werden, thematisiert die Studie die globale Vernetzung in der Vormoderne.
