Eine Baltisch-Adlige Missionarin Bewegt Europa: Barbara Juliane V. Krudener, Geb. V. Vietinghoff Gen. Scheel (1764-1824) (German Edition)

English summary: This doctoral thesis reintroduces Juliane von Krudener, a largely forgotten historic figure, back into historical awareness. Particular attention is given to her role as a female missionary in Europe within the church history context of pietism and revival movements at the beginning of the 19th century. The investigation revolves around the question: to what extent did this aristocratic ambassador's wife not just stir hearts, but also have a transforming influence on the mission history of Europe? In addition von Krudener's specific female contribution is investigated. The climax of von Krudener's missionary activity occurs between 1815 and 1818. It covers the time of her special influence on Tsar Alexander I, her missionary travels through Switzerland and Germany, and her effect on the spiritual revival movements happening in Western and Eastern Europe. This Baltic-German missionary used various social networks, in particular the transnational and interdenominational network of the salon-culture, as inroads for her missional lifestyle. The basis for the missiological role analysis in this paper is a thematic investigation into the life and activities of Juliane von Krudener. What stands out is the fact that her missionary role, apart from her activities as Salonniere, writer and evangelist, also included charitable and political dimensions. This case study on Juliane von Krudener is an interdisciplinary research contribution, but is also the first to offer extensive research from a theological perspective. It addresses foundational questions about the role of women in mission and church history and is a testimony to the significant contribution of women to revival-transformative processes during the 19th century. German description: Dieser Band widmet sich Juliane v. Krudener, die zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts als Missionarin in Europa tatig war. Es wird beleuchtet, wie das missonarische Handeln der baltisch-adligen Botschaftergattin im Zusammenhang mit den kirchenhistorischen Bewegungen von Pietismus und Erweckungsbewegung zu sehen ist und inwiefern sie tranformierend auf die Missionsgeschichte Europas eingewirkt hat. Zudem wird ihr spezifisch weiblicher Standpunkt in der Missions- und Kirchengeschichte untersucht. Die Betrachtung des Werdegangs der Baltin bildet so die Basis fur eine missiologische Rollenuntersuchung, bei der deutlich wird, dass v. Krudeners Position als Missionarin neben ihrem Engagement als Salonniere, Autorin und Evangelistin auch eine sozial-diakonische und politische Dimension hatte.
