Missionssammlungen stehen im Fokus des öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Sie gelten als Teil der umstrittenen Kulturgeschichte Europas, als Kontaktzonen oder als Erinnerungs- und Lernorte. Gleichzeitig sind viele Sammlungen in ihrem Bestand akut gefährdet, weil ihre Träger keine Mittel zum Erhalt haben oder sich in absehbarer Zeit auflösen. Die Beiträger*innen reflektieren die Herausforderungen und Chancen des Erhalts und der Erforschung dieser Sammlungen aus kultur- und religionswissenschaftlicher, historischer, kunstwissenschaftlicher und theologischer Perspektive und diskutieren Modelle für den zukünftigen Umgang mit kulturellem Erbe.

Cultural encounters are often being stylized not only as experiences of uncontrollability and unpredictability par excellence, but also as challenges to planning and predicting. The history, the different forms and the consequences of this phenomenon are the main issues discussed in this volume. The contributions show that chaos and control are not mutually exclusive in the "contact zone" (Mary Louise Pratt); on the contrary, they stand in relation to each other - be it as a competence or as an interpretive scheme.
