English summary: The concept of sovereignty as characterised by Hobbes has shown itself to be crucial to politics and theology right up to the present. According to Carl Schmitt, it implies a law-positing power itself beyond the law which stems from the early Modern Age's metaphysical-theological inheritance. In contrast, the current political discourse no longer sees sovereignty as an inheritance of theology, but rather as a product of man's political imagination. Belief in sovereignty relies on the fiction that absolute power is actually able to really exist and stably endure, thus bestowing political ideologies with necessarily totalitarian purposes. With reference to the critiques of sovereignty by the philosophers Claude Lefort and Slavoj iek and theologian Karl Barth, Rebekka A. Klein clarifies how such ideologies can be exposed and defused. The three thinkers initiate an attenuation of the concept of sovereignty by reinforcing its subversive. German description: Der durch Hobbes gepragte Begriff der Souveranitat erweist sich bis in unsere Gegenwart als entscheidend fur Politik und Theologie. Der gegenwartige politische Diskurs begreift Souveranitat dagegen nicht mehr als Erbin der Theologie, sondern als Produkt politischer Einbildungskraft des Menschen. Der Glaube an die Souveranitat lebt von der Fiktion, absolute Macht konne real existieren und dauerhaft bestehen. Er stiftet politische Ideologien mit notwendig totalitaren Zwecken. Rebekka A. Klein klart im Verweis auf die Souveranitatskritik der Philosophen Claude Lefort und Slavoj Zizek sowie des Theologen Karl Barth, wie diese durchdrungen und entscharft werden. Die drei Autoren leiten eine Depotenzierung der Souveranitatsfigur durch die Starkung ihrer subversiv-emanzipatorischen Potenziale ein und berufen sich als Quelle ihrer Ideologiekritik auf die Theologie.
