English summary: The field of writing and education in northern Germany during the Middle Ages was for the most part the preserve of monks, nuns and clerics. Over the centuries the vast majority of hand written and printed manuscripts that were produced and used in monasteries, collegiate or canonical endowments, cathedral chapter, charitable or city schools as well as in universities were lost in numerous fires and floods and through war, pillage and monastic reform. This work for the first time reconstructs and surveys both the lost and the surviving books of ecclesiastical institutions in northern Germany and describes the Europe wide religious, intellectual and social networks, in which those who could read and were active and in which knowledge in the form of writing was shared. German description: Die Schrift- und Bildungslandschaften des Mittelalters wurden in Norddeutschland weitgehend von Monchen, Nonnen und Klerikern gepragt. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte ging in zahlreichen Brand- und Hochwasserkatastrophen, in Kriegen, durch Plunderungen und monastische Reformen der grosste Teil der Handschriften und Drucke, die in Klostern, Kollegiat- und Kanonissenstiften, in Kathedral-, Stift- und Stadtschulen sowie Universitaten hergestellt oder benutzt wurden, verloren. Der Text rekonstruiert erstmals uberblicksartig die verlorenen und die erhaltenen Bucher der geistlichen Einrichtungen im norddeutschen Raum und stellt die europaweiten religiosen, intellektuellen und sozialen Netzwerke dar, in denen die Schrift- und Lesekundigen agierten und in denen Wissen im Medium der Schrift kursierte. Die Schrift- und Bildungslandschaften weisen neben Zonen hoher Verdichtung viele weisse Flecken auf. Wahrend der Transfer des Schriftgutes und des Wissens im fruhen und hohen Mittelalter auf weitraumigen, internationalen Kontakten basierte, nahmen diese paradoxerweise mit zunehmender Verdichtung der Bildungseinrichtungen im Spatmittelalter ab.
