English summary: This book provides a concise summary of our knowledge of the religious ideas of the Germanic peoples. Drawing on archaeological sources from the early Germanic period and the Migration Period it describes and discusses the Germanic peoples= very diverse religious customs, which were greatly transformed through contact with the Roman Empire, as well as varying greatly from region to region. In contrast to distorted perspectives which are a product of past ideological deviations and the neo-pagan fantasy cults of the present, this book presents straightforward facts and plausible explanations drawn from disparate source material and diverse disciplines such as archeology, ancient history and German Studies in a rational and easily comprehensible way. German description: In ubersichtlicher Form fasst das Buch unser Wissen uber die religosen Vorstellungen der Germanen zusammen. Unter Ruckgriff auf archaologische Quellen der germanischen Fruhzeit und der Zeit der Volkerwanderung werden die sich besonders durch den Kontakt mit dem Romerreich wandelnden und regional sehr unterschiedlichen religiosen Gebrauche der Germanen vorgestellt und verstandlich diskutiert. Angesichts der in der Vergangenheit durch ideologische Verirrungen und in der Gegenwart durch neuheidnische Fantasiekulte verzerrten Perspektiven, stellt dieses Buch, nuchtern und verstandlich klare Sachverhalte und plausible Erklarungen aus dem disparaten Quellenmaterial zusammen, das aus ganz unterschiedlichen Fachgebieten wie der Archaologie, der Alten Geschichte und der Germanistik stammt.
