English summary: Anabaptists - danger or blessing for Early Modern Societies? Up to the 18th century, Anabaptists were persecuted in various regions of the Old Reich and its neighbouring territories. Toleration remained a matter of negotiation. The present study examines the Anabaptists in their communicative relations towards the authorities who in regard to the Anabaptist understanding could never be Christian, towards other confessional deviant subjects, and as argument in debates on the toleration of confessional deviance. The emerging horizontal and vertical line of communication shows the Anabaptists as incorporated into the political-societal system of Early Modern Times and as political actors. Via the Anabaptists' Early Modern political spaces, as well as ideas that constitute society and possibilities to integrate confessional deviant subjects appear a different point of view. In the synopsis from the 16th to the 18th century we gain insight into the changes of the juridical regulations on confessional and political-societal norms and into the long tradition of arguments that exclude or include. German text. German description: Die Taufer Gefahr oder Segen fur fruhneuzeitliche Gesellschaften? Bis ins 18. Jahrhundert wurden Taufer in einzelnen Regionen des Reichs und Teilen seiner angrenzenden Gebiete verfolgt; Tolerierung blieb Verhandlungssache. Dieser Band betrachtet die fruhneuzeitlichen Taufer in ihren kommunikativen Beziehungen zu den Obrigkeiten, die nach tauferischem Verstandnis nie christlich sein konnten, zu anderen konfessionell devianten Untertanen und als Argument in Debatten uber die Tolerierung konfessioneller Devianz. Die so entstehende horizontale und vertikale Kommunikationsschiene zeigt die laut ihrer Bekenntnisse eigentlich apolitischen Taufer als Teil des politischen Systems und als politische Akteure. Uber die Taufer eroffnet sich ein neuer Blick auf die Strukturen fruhneuzeitlicher politischer Raume, auf Ideen, die Gesellschaft konstituierten, und auf die Moglichkeiten von Gesellschaften, konfessionell deviante Untertanen zu integrieren. Es zeigen sich der Wandel der rechtlichen Bestimmungen, die Auseinandersetzungen uber konfessionelle und politisch-soziale Normen sowie die lange Tradition von Argumenten, die ausgrenzen oder tolerieren.
