English summary: The close relationship between Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and his three year older sister Fanny belongs to the extraordinary brother-sister relationships in the 19th century. The childhood of the two was characterized by the world of music: by piano tuition, by the compostion lessons with the famous Zelter and the choir rehearsals and finanlly by the Sunday concerts in the parental home.When Felix went on his first long journey to England in 1829, first irritations must have occurred and continued during the following years. But music always brought them together again. How strong the hidden bonds between the two were can be gathered from the total breakdown that he suffered when hearing about her death; one will not be mistaken in assuming that his death, half a year later, was an indirect consequence of the loss in his sister.The catalogue displays sources that allow well-founded conclusions to be drawn on many details. German description: Die wechselseitige enge Verbundenheit zwischen Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy und seiner um etwas mehr als drei Jahre alteren Schwester Fanny gehort zu den aussergewohnlichen Geschwister-Beziehungen im 19. Jahrhundert. Die gemeinsame Kindheit war gepragt von der Welt der Musik: von der Ausbildung im Klavierspiel, dem Kompositionsunterricht bei dem beruhmten Zelter und der Teilnahme an dessen Chorabenden sowie den "Sonntagsmusiken" im elterlichen Hause.Wahrend der ersten grossen Reise, die Felix 1829 nach England unternahm, kam zum ersten Mal zu Spannungen zwischen den beiden, die auch in den folgenden Jahren immer wieder auftraten. In der Musik fanden sie jedoch wieder zusammen. Wie stark das verborgene Band zwischen ihnen war, zeigt der vollige Zusammenbruch Felix' als er vom Tode seiner Schwester erfuhr. Er selbst starb nur ein halbes Jahr nach ihr.Dieser Katalog zeigt erstmals Quellenmaterial, das Ruckschlusse uber die Geschwister-Beziehung erlaubt.
