English summary: Volume II of this five-volume series, which explores the architectural and functional history of the Hofburg in Vienna, analyzes the courts development into a central European imperial residence, beginning with the reign of Ferdinand I and concluding with the reign of Leopold I. This new publication about the multi-faceted history of this continually-expanding residence is accompanied by investigations into how members of the Habsburg dynasty practiced of self-representation by examining the architecture of the Hofburg and its decorative forms, the close connection between ceremonial and spatial structures, as well as the architectural and functional importance of theaters, garden complexes, and art collections. Connections to contemporary European developments serve as a persistent lens through which one can view the history of the Hofburg. The internationality of the Habsburg family is a notable motif in the time period under examination in this volume. German description: Band II der funfbandigen Publikationsreihe zur Bau- und Funktionsgeschichte der Wiener Hofburg analysiert deren Entwicklung zur zentralen mitteleuropaischen Kaiserresidenz von Ferdinand I. bis einschliesslich Leopold I. Die Neuschreibung der facettenreichen Bau- und Funktionsgeschichte der kontinuierlich sich vergrossernden Residenz wird begleitet von Untersuchungen zu den Reprasentationspraktiken der Habsburger. Nachvollzogen werden sie an der Architektur und ihren Dekorformen, im engen Zusammenhang zwischen Zeremoniell und den Raumfolgen, aber auch an den Raumen des Theaters, der Gartenanlagen und der Sammlungen. Grundlage fur die Untersuchung ist der permanente Blick auf die europaischen Verknupfungen. Im gegebenen Zeitraum ist die Internationalitat der Familie Habsburg eine besonders zu berucksichtigende Voraussetzung. Der nachweisbar enge Kontakt und der regelmassige Austausch zwischen den habsburgischen Hofen in Wien, Madrid und Brussel sind gerade fur die Analyse und Bewertung der bau- und raumkunstlerischen Leistungen an der Wiener Hofburg von grundlegender Bedeutung. Die Hofburg war mit ihren standig wechselnden Baustellen ein stellvertretender und reprasentativer Untersuchungsraum fur das internationale, vornehmlich aber italienisch gepragte Baugeschehen in Mitteleuropa. Doch wurde diese aitalianita vor Ort einer Transformation unterzogen. Ihre Vermengung mit spezifisch mitteleuropaischen, burgundischen oder spanischen Elementen, zusammen mit dynastisch bedingten oder imperial konnotierten Besonderheiten, gehort zu den auffalligen Prozessen, die an der Hofburg des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts beobachtet werden konnen.
