English summary: Andreae's Christianopolis is the most important utopia of Protestant theology. It shows the model state of spiritual republicanism, the secular goal of Protestant political theology. Universal education, spiritual disciplining and welfare policies were to be combined in a second Reformation. Andreae's theological-political vision became a model of the Protestant princely states as well as of English revolutionary republicanism in the 17th century. The allegorical and polemical didactic poem Christenburg, written in 1626, sees the vision as being critically endangered and shows the extent to which the Protestants' situation had deteriorated in the Thirty Years' War. German description: Andreaes Christianopolis ist die bedeutendste Utopie der evangelischen Theologie. Sie zeigt den Musterstaat des geistlichen Republikanismus, das weltliche Ziel der protestantischen politischen Theologie. In einer zweiten Reformation sollten universelle Bildung, geistliche Disziplinierung und Wohlfahrtspolitik miteinander verbunden werden. Andreaes theologisch-politische Vision wurde zum Leitbild sowohl des protestantischen Furstenstaates als auch des englischen revolutionaren Republikanismus des 17. Jahrhunderts. Das allegorisch-polemische Lehrgedicht Christenburg aus dem Jahr 1626 sieht die Vision zuhochst gefahrdet und zeigt, wie sehr sich die Situation der evangelischen Seite im Dreissigjahrigen Krieg verschlechtert hatte.
