English Summary: The volume goes back to a transdicsiplinary conference held in December 2010 at the University of Trier. It contains articles dedicated to tree key concepts that are central to the 'spatial turn'-discussion in the framework of the historically oriented cultural studies. These key concepts are "places," "orders," and "oscillations." All three key concepts stand both for existing and imaginary/factitive entities and focus the discussion on their dynamic features as well as on the continuity and discontinuity of their development, on their interdependence and on the impact they have on each other. The volume covers a wide time period from the Middle Ages until modern times and includes diverse case studies of a manifold range of sources stretching from the architectural structure of a Gothic cathedral to printed (visual and verbal) sources of different genres. In this way, the volume contributes significantly to the cultural historical discussion of the concept "space" within the European knowledge archive. German Description: Der Band versammelt Beitrage einer transdisziplinar ausgerichteten Tagung, die sich, orientiert an den Leitbegriffen "Ort," "Ordnung" und "Oszillation" mit kulturellen Zu- und Beschreibungen von Raumen des Wissens befassen, die sowohl faktitiven wie real existenten Raumkonstrukten zugeordnet sein und einander in polyvalent verschrankter Weise uberlappen konnen. Die Spanne der in den Blick genommenen Beispiele reicht dabei chronologisch vom hohen Mittelalter bis in die Moderne, vom Gegenstand her vom gotischen Kathedralbau bis zum Tagebuch des Lodzer Ghettos. Die Konzentration auf die genannten Leitbegriffe eroffnet dabei neue, oftmals erstmalig mogliche Blickwinkel auf die kulturhistorische Bedeutung der Kategorie des Raums fur das europaische Wissensarchiv.
