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.
