English summary: The high significance attached to the world of the gods and beliefs in the writings of Julian is undeniable. Julian's imperial position and biography have always attracted considerable attention to his oft articulated religious thoughts, making Julian a key figure for the understanding of the religious culture of late antiquity. Based on a systematic analysis of Julian's works, Sara Stocklin-Kaldewey examines the ideas that form the basis of the emperor's piety and discusses their consistency, motivation and consequences. In doing this, she reveals recurring motifs and problems, and uses these to locate her subject on the spiritual map of late antiquity. In many cases they prove to be representative of the religious discourse of the time and of the major questions debated by Christian thinkers, philosophers and members of the educated pagan elite. German description: Die hohe Relevanz der Gotter- und Glaubenswelt in den Schriften Julians ist unubersehbar. Seine kaiserliche Stellung und Biographie haben dem vielfach artikulierten religiosen Gedankengut seit jeher Beachtung verschafft, denn sie machen Julian zu einer Schlusselfigur fur das Verstandnis der religiosen Kultur der Spatantike. In einer systematischen Analyse von Julians Gesamtwerk untersucht Sara Stocklin-Kaldewey die Vorstellungen, die der Frommigkeit des Kaisers zugrunde liegen, und erortert ihre Koharenz, Begrundungen und Konsequenzen. Dabei werden wiederkehrende Motive und Problemstellungen sichtbar, anhand derer eine Verortung auf der geistigen Landkarte der Spatantike vorgenommen wird. Vielfach erweisen sie sich als reprasentativ fur die religiosen Diskurse der Zeit, fur die grossen Fragen, mit denen sich christliche Denker, Philosophen und Vertreter der paganen Bildungselite auseinandersetzen.
