English summary: Heike Ernsting studies the new phenomenon of healing services in the Protestant Church breaking new ground in practical theology therewith. The topic of healing services is examined from various different perspectives: by means of an empirical study of healing services in Church practice, by analyzing impulses from church history and ecumenism, by means of a system-theoretical analysis providing insights into the sociological conditions of the longing for healing and wholeness. Finally the study propounds the thesis that healing services are a newly emerging form of occasional service addressing the “case” of illness and threatened corporeality in a theological intensified way and allowing to experiencing God’s devotion to the “Weary and Burdened”. German description: Heike Ernsting untersucht Salbungsgottesdienste als neues Phanomen in der evangelischen Kirche und betritt damit Neuland in der Praktischen Theologie. Das Phanomen Salbungsgottesdienste wird aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven erschlossen: durch eine empirische Untersuchung von Salbungsgottesdiensten in der gemeindlichen Praxis, durch die Analyse von Impulsen aus der Kirchengeschichte und der Okumene, durch eine systemtheoretische Untersuchung, die die soziologischen Bedingungen einer Sehnsucht nach Heilung und Ganzheitlichkeit erhellt. Die Untersuchung entfaltet abschliessend die These des Salbungsgottesdienstes als neu emergierenden Kasualgottesdienst, der in theologisch zugespitzter Weise den Kasus Krankheit und bedrohte Leiblichkeit thematisiert und die Zuwendung Gottes zu den Muhseligen und Beladenen erfahrbar werden lasst.
