English summary: Facing a changing educational landscape, churches are being challenged to rethink their religious education practice. How are they organizing their educational activities in cooperation with the state's educational institutions and in relation to life in the parishes? Which methods and subject matter can provide a religious education for adolescents that will go on to be helpful in life? Based on an empirical study by the Zurcher religionspadagogisches Gesamtkonzept (rpg), the general Zurich religious education concept, Rahel Voirol-Sturzenegger describes the experience of pedagogical staff in the parishes and of children and their families. On this basis she asks on a general level how the opportunities provided by a church-based religious education can best be seized. This is a book for all those who share responsibility for and implement religious education.
