English summary: To this day, the “Our Father” is the central prayer of every Christian. As at the same time it is the prayer of the Jew Jesus of Nazareth, the question arises whether this prayer also unites Christians and Jews in their faith. The renowned Catholic theologian Hubert Frankemolle interprets the “Our Father” as it is transmitted in the gospel according to Matthew (6,9-13), because in 1970 the Christian churches agreed to choose this longer version for their liturgy rather than the shorter form transmitted in Luke 11,2-4. This is done in three stages: At the beginning stands the interpretation of the prayer of Jesus in the reading of the Evangelist Matthew. As a second stage the author searches all seven petitions for accordance with and differences from other prayers of the Bible and of Jewish groups of the time. And as a third step he provides spiritual impulses for Christians and Jews today. The book has become possible due to the renewed relationship of the churches to Judaism since about fifty years. This new context is briefly touched upon at the beginning, while the book ends with impulses for the future. German description: Das Vaterunser bzw. Unservater ist das zentrale Gebet aller Christen bis heute. Da es zugleich das Gebet des Juden Jesus aus Nazareth ist, stellt sich die Frage, ob dieses Gebet auch Christen und Juden in ihrem Glauben verbindet. Der renommierte katholische Theologe Frankemolle legt das Vaterunser in der Uberlieferung des Matthaus (6,9-13) aus, da die christlichen Kirchen sich 1970 auf diese langere Version im Vergleich zur Kurzform von Lk 11,2-4 als liturgischen Text geeinigt haben. Er tut das in einem Dreischritt: Am Anfang steht die Auslegung des Gebetes Jesu in der Deutung des Evangelisten Matthaus. In einem weiteren Schritt wird bei allen sieben Bitten nach Ubereinstimmungen und Unterschieden zu weiteren Gebeten der Bibel und judischer Gruppen in der damaligen Zeit gefragt. Und in einem dritten Schritt folgen spirituelle Impulse fur Christen und Juden heute. Moglich wurde das Buch durch das erneuerte Verhaltnis der Kirchen zum Judentum seit etwa funfzig Jahren. Dieser aktuelle Kontext wird am Anfang skizziert, am Ende geht es um Impulse fur die Zukunft.
