English summary: This collection of interdisciplinary and inter-faith conference proceedings is devoted to the tense relationship that exists between the universal human right to equality and the unequal treatment of men and women that has a religious and cultural motivation and is justified on the basis of the fundamental right to religious freedom. Religious beliefs and gender relations affect fundamental questions concerning values and lifestyle and are therefore very closely interwoven with culture and politics. The resulting complexity of the conflict taking place within the area of fundamental rights is analyzed in this volume from the perspective of legal theory and illustrated using examples, and ideas are developed for its resolution. The contributors are: Susanne Baer, Ute Gause, Anna-Katharina Hopflinger, Elisa Klapheck, Cardinal Karl Lehmann, Matthias Mahlmann, Axel Michaels, Nut Angelika Berger and Irene Schneider. German description: Der interdisziplinar und religionsubergreifend angelegte Tagungsband widmet sich dem spannungsreichen Verhaltnis zwischen dem universellen Menschenrecht der Gleichberechtigung und religios-kulturell begrundeten Ungleichbehandlungen von Mann und Frau, zu deren Rechtfertigung das Grundrecht der Religionsfreiheit in Anspruch genommen wird. Religiose Uberzeugungen wie auch das Geschlechterverhaltnis beruhren fundamentale Fragen der Wertorientierung und Lebensfuhrung. Sie sind daher auf das engste verwoben mit Kultur und Politik. Darin liegt die Komplexitat des Grundrechtskonflikts, der in diesem Band rechtstheoretisch analysiert wie auch exemplarisch veranschaulicht wird und zu dessen Losung Vorschlage entwickelt werden. Mit Beitragen von: Susanne Baer, Ute Gause, Anna-Katharina Hopflinger, Elisa Klapheck, Karl Kardinal Lehmann, Matthias Mahlmann, Axel Michaels, Angelika Nussberger, Irene Schneider
