English summary: Cistercians are the reform order of Benedictine monks dating back to the High Middle Ages. As ingenious technical designers, they laid down the basis for intensive agriculture. Their ideal of piety was far ahead of the mendicant orders and made the Benedictine order attractive again in the time of the Investiture Controversy. The book covers the history of the Cistercians from their oundation by Robert of Molesme and Bernard of Clairvaux, through their cultural, scientific and social function in the Middle Ages to the present day, although its focal point - the importance of the order - was in the Middle Ages. German description: Die Zisterzienser haben im 12. Jahrhundert die Rechtsform des modernen religiosen Ordens erfunden. Ihre Reformen im geistlich-liturgischen und organisatorisch-konstitutionellen Bereich haben das hoch- und spatmittelalterliche Monchtum dauerhaft gepragt. Durch ihre Ruckkehr zur Eigenbewirtschaftung, die Einbeziehung von Laienbrudern und ein europaweites Netzwerk zu Herrschern, Bischofen und lokalen Adligen haben sie auch ausserhalb des Klosters tiefe Spuren in der Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft ihrer Zeit hinterlassen. Das Buch behandelt die Geschichte der Zisterzienser von der Grundung durch Robert von Molesme und ihrer grossten Expansion unter Bernhard von Clairvaux uber ihre religiose, kulturelle, wissenschaftliche, politische und soziookonomische Bedeutung bis zu den Reformen und Krisen der Neuzeit und dem gewandelten Selbstverstandnis in der Gegenwart. Professor Dr. Jorg Oberste ist Professor fur Mittelalterliche Geschichte und Historische Hilfswissenschaften an der Universitat Regensburg.
