English summary: Beate Hahn Paulus (1778-1842), daughter of Wurtenberger pastor and Pietist Philipp Matthaus Hahn, and wife of pastor Karl Friedrich Paulus (1763-1828), kept a journal during eleven years of personal and marital strife. The unwavering religious devotion of the couple, she a Pietist and her husband an orthodox Lutheran, led to much conflict, especially as it concerned the way their sons were educated. In her letters, Beate Hahn Paulus describes her tenacious fight for the funding of her education and her disobedience as a wife while tirelessly imploring Jesus for help. The journal grants a rare honest insight into the marital strife of a parish family, of village life, of rural credit systems, into the economics of a rectory, and into the structures of bourgeois kinship. German description: Beate Hahn Paulus (1778-1842), Tochter des wurttembergischen Pfarrers und Pietisten Philipp Matthaus Hahn und Ehefrau des Pfarrers Karl Friedrich Paulus (1763-1828) fuhrte in einer Lebens- und Ehekrise uber elf Jahre ein Tagebuch. Die ungleiche Frommigkeit des Ehepaares, sie Pietistin und ihr Mann lutherisch-orthodox, fuhrte zu Konflikten, so vor allem uber die Ausbildungswege der Sohne. In ihrem Schreiben schildert Beate Hahn Paulus ihren zahen Kampf um die Finanzierung ihrer Ausbildung, verteidigt ihren Ungehorsam als Ehefrau und fleht unermudlich Jesus um Hilfe an. Das Tagebuch gewahrt in selten offener Weise Einsicht in den Ehekonflikt eines Pfarrpaares, in den dorflichen Alltag, dorfliche Kreditsysteme, in die Okonomie eines Pfarrhauses und in die burgerlichen Verwandtschaftsstrukturen.
