English summary: In 2009 a zoologist from Bern discovered a new species of spider in the Alps, which he called Zamonische Zwergspinne (Caracladus zamoniensis). Thus the fantasy-novels by Walter Moers, who invented the fictional continent Zamonien, crossed over into the real world of biology. The present collection of essays dealing with Walter Moers' five Zamonien Novels ("Die 13 Leben des Kapt'n Blaubar", "Ensel und Krete", "Rumo", "Die Stadt der Traumenden Bucher" and "Der Schrecksenmeister") aims to establish his work in the philological world, too. Moers' intellectually ambitious and amusing storytelling makes his works very popular in both the public and academic circles. The present collection "Walter Moers' Zamonien-Romane: Vermessungen eines fiktionalen Kontinents" contains 14 essays which approach the novels in a variety of ways: In the first section, the contributors analyze general aspects of the whole work, such as intermediality, authorship and postmodernity. In the second section, the articles concentrate on individual aspects of the five novels.This collection marks the first comprehensive scholarly approach to the work of one of the most popular contemporary German authors. German description: 2009 entdeckte ein Berner Zoologe in den Alpen eine neue Spinnenart, die er Zamonische Zwergspinne taufte. Damit hielt das literarische Fantasy-Werk Walter Moers' Einzug in die Realitat der Biologie. Die hier versammelten Aufsatze zu den funf Romanen, die auf dem fiktiven Kontinent Zamonien spielen (Die 13 Leben des Kapt'n Blaubar, Ensel und Krete, Rumo, Die Stadt der Traumenden Bucher und Der Schrecksenmeister), sollen das Werk auch in philologischen Disziplinen etablieren. Sie widmen sich den Romanen, in denen Moers den Spagat zwischen guter Unterhaltung und intelligentem Erzahlen meistert, unter verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und zeigen so die postmodernen Erzahlverfahren, die Konzeptionen von Autor- und Herausgeberschaft sowie die Adaptionen verschiedener Genres. In Einzelanalysen werden ferner individuelle Besonderheiten der einzelnen Texte hervorgehoben. Das Werk stellt einen ersten umfangreichen Versuch der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit einem der meistgelesenen deutschen Autoren der Gegenwart dar.
