English summary: The lifeworld and culture of medieval convents constitute a comparatively young field of research. With the exception of outstanding figures such as Hildegard von Bingen or the great mystic Mechthild von Magdeburg, neither the education, theological foundations nor the religious or artistic expression of such women have been taken into consideration at all. As a consequence, the input of no less than half of the religious has been regarded as immaterial to cultural and societal development in pre-modern times. The research work of Eva Schlotheuber contained in this volume owes its new perspective on the lifeworld and cultural expression of the nuns to views from within. They illuminate in a lively and striking fashion the everyday life of the cloister women, which was highly demanding in its theological, intellectual, social, but also economic terms. German description: Die Lebenswelt und Kultur der mittelalterlichen Frauenkonvente sind ein vergleichsweise junges Forschungsfeld. Mit Ausnahme herausragender Gestalten wie Hildegard von Bingen oder den grossen Mystikerinnen wie Mechthild von Magdeburg gerieten Bildung, theologische Grundlagen sowie der religiose oder kunstlerische Ausdruck der religiosen Frauen lange kaum in den Blick der Forschung, womit nicht weniger als die Halfte aller Religiosen als unwesentlich fur die kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung in der Vormoderne eingeschatzt wurde. Die im vorliegenden Band vereinigten Forschungsarbeiten von Eva Schlotheuber verdanken eine neue Perspektive auf die Lebenswelt und den kulturellen Ausdruck der Nonnen vor allem der Binnensicht. Sie beleuchten in lebendiger und eindrucksvoller Weise den in theologischer, intellektueller, sozialer, aber auch in okonomischer Hinsicht hochst anspruchsvollen Alltag der Frauen in der Klausur.
