  abstract  = {From 1933, the inner Protestant 'German Christians Church Movement' from Thuringia took control over some Protestant regional churches in Germany. For the German Christians the main motives of their agitation were the creation of a 'volkisch' belief system based on race, Christianity and 'dejudaization' (of Christianity). <br /> Based on the theoretical considerations of spaces, boundaries and exclusion, the article uses the example of the German Christians to show under which conditions individuals are denied entry into an imaginary religious space. 'Exclusivist border crossings,' as this phenomena is named here on the theoretical perspective, can explain how religious arguments exclude people from entering a religious space such as salvation when the access criteria are linked to birth-related conditions.},

  abstract  = {Hans Heinrich Schaeder is considered an important Iranist and historian of religion. For reasons of opportunism, careerism, and anti-Semitic resentment, he used the chance afforded him after the National Socialists seized power in Germany: he combined his historical and philological knowledge with National-Socialist racial ideology. Drawing on the superiority of "Aryanism" he derived from this merger, Schaeder tried to redefine the "Eastern Borders" of "European Culture". In his concept, Armenians and Persians became integral elements of European culture and history, while Jews and "Semites" were excluded. In academia, publishing, and politics, he put himself at the service of the National-Socialist regime. In his own view, this served the struggle against Communism and the West's social system. After the war, a de-Nazification commission concluded that there existed no reservations concerning his employment at G{\"o}ttingen University.},

  abstract  = {Die Worte „entjuden" und „Entjudung" sind sprachlicher Ausdruck zumeist judenfeindlicher Haltungen und Taten in der deutschen Geschichte. Der Beitrag zeichnet die Entwicklung des Begriffs anhand seiner Verwendungszusammenh{\"a}nge nach. Im Kontext der Assimilation des beginnenden 19. Jahrhunderts meinte der Terminus, dass man sich jener j{\"u}dischen „Eigenheit" zu entkleiden habe, welche als Postulat gemeinhin Konsens war. Innerhalb der innerj{\"u}dischen Diskussion wird „Entjudung" zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zum diagnostischen Ausdruck des Identit{\"a}tsverlustes. Als politischer Kampfbegriff der Nationalsozialisten ist er wiederum zum Synonym f{\"u}r die Entrechtung und Vernichtung j{\"u}discher Menschen geworden. Protestantische Theologen verwendeten diesen Begriff in der Debatte um die Erneuerung des Christentums, was durch die Entfernung j{\"u}discher Einfl{\"u}sse geschehen sollte. Bereits Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts formuliert, findet diese Forderung in der 1939 erfolgten Gr{\"u}ndung des Instituts zur Erforschung und Beseitigung des j{\"u}dischen Einflusses auf das deutsche kirchliche Leben seine programmatische Umsetzung.},
