English summary: The work presents essential features of Chinas' history, starting with archaeological sites, continuing with pre-dynastic and imperial China as well as the period of the modern republics. The regional political circumstances and closely related to that China's relationship towards non-Chinese aliens from East, West and the North are regarded attentively. It is demonstrated that China has suffered similar radical change, restructuring and downtime to other societies and that it is still capable of finding its path and position in our modern global world. German description: Das Buch vermittelt in Grundzugen Einblicke in Chinas Geschichte ausgehend von den archaologischen Fundstellen uber die vordynastische Zeit und das kaiserliche China bis einschliesslich hin zur modernen Zeit der Republiken. Die politisch-territorialen Verhaltnisse sowie die damit eng verbundenen Beziehungen Chinas zu den nichtchinesischen Fremden aus West und Ost sowie aus dem Norden finden dabei aufmerksame Berucksichtigung. Die Lekture will aufzeigen, dass China ahnlichen Bruchen, Umgestaltungen und Auszeiten ausgesetzt war wie andere Gemeinschaften auch, und dass es vor dem Hintergrund seiner bewegten Geschichte durchaus in der Lage sein kann, einen eigenen Weg und Standort in der heutigen globalen Welt zu finden.
