English summary: Relations between Asia and Europe have always been complex and dynamic. While the East was considered to be paradise on earth, the source of light and origin of all prosperity, Europe also expected history to end there. There were many reasons to visualise the Asian continent not only as a broader, greater world, but also a fascinating but challenging, enticing but alarming counterworld. In 22 multifaceted and extensive studies on travel, Folker Reichert examines the multifarious relations that Europe and Asia maintained with each other in the Middle Ages. German description: Asien und Europa standen immer in einem spannungsreichen Verhaltnis zueinander. Galt der Osten als das irdische Paradies, als Quelle des Lichts und Ursprung allen Reichtums, erwartete Europa von dort zugleich das Ende der Geschichte. Vieles sprach dafur, im asiatischen Kontinent nicht nur eine weitere und grossere Welt, sondern auch eine faszinierende, fordernde, anziehende, erschreckende Gegenwelt zu erblicken. In 22 Aufsatzen untersucht Folker Reichert ebenso facettenreich wie umfassend die vielfaltigen Beziehungen, die Europa und Asien im Mittelalter miteinander unterhielten.
