English summary: Music, in its apparent immateriality, is often elevated to a position of closeness to God, an honour not bestowed upon most other phenomena. The understanding of music hence provides important insights into the relationship between the understanding of the world and the understanding of God which in turn can clarify the relationship between music and religion from the point of view of the philosophy of religion. Using a hermeneutical method of orientation, Stefan Berg undertakes an analysis of the point where religion becomes relevant in the situation of music. In the ontological horizon of Augustine’s De musica , religion and music fuse into the unity of the world. In J.-J. Rousseau’s thinking, which is focussed on the individual subject, they meet each other as two separate entities. Over and above these two perspectives the situation of music presents itself as a S pielwerk , a specific hermeneutical situation of a musical game. B.A. Zimmermann’s Ekklesiastische Aktion is used to show that here music and religion establish a transient relationship to each other, which always is concrete, and limited in time and space. German description: Der Musik wird immer wieder zugetraut, Gott naher zu stehen als anderes. Am Musikverstandnis konnen daher wichtige Einblicke in das Ineinander von Welt- und Gottesverstandnis gewonnen werden, was zugleich eine fundierte religionsphilosophische Klarung der Beziehung von Musik und Religion ermoglicht. Auf der Basis einer orientierungshermeneutischen Methode untersucht Stefan Berg in drei Studien von der Musik her das Ins-Spiel-Kommen der Religion. Im seinsphilosophischen Horizont von Augustins De musica verschmelzen Musik und Religion in der Einheit der Welt. Im subjektphilosophischen Denken J.-J. Rousseaus treten sie einander als streng separierte Grossen gegenuber. Fur ein Denken jenseits von Seins- und Subjektphilosophie prasentiert sich die musikalische Situation als Spielwerk. Wie anhand der Ekklesiastischen Aktion von B.A. Zimmermann gezeigt werden kann, gehen Musik und Religion hier eine konkrete, temporal und lokal begrenzte und daher stets fluchtige Beziehung miteinander ein.
