English summary: One can demonstrate different forms of human Central and Southeast European Neolithic skull worship through post-mortem procedures. The most obvious finds indicative of this skull worship are documented in Central Europe from the Late Neolithic-Early Copper Age Lengyel culture. This book focuses especially on Lengyel burials where the forms of the head or skull could be analyzed in post mortem procedures, which may point to the ostensive skull phenomena with regard also to the contemporary and earlier Neolithic communities of the Central and South East European region or the Middle East region. After determining the forms or types of skull worship, the process of burial of the dead, the post-mortem manipulation of the cranium, its possible meaning, and the origin of these phenomena in the prehistoric communities are also discussed. German text. German description: Im mittel- und sudosteuropaischen Neolithikum kann man verschiedene Formen von am menschlichen Schadel vorgenommenen postmortalen Eingriffen nachweisen. Die bislang evidentesten auf den Schadelkult hinweisenden Funde sind in Mitteleuropa aus der spatneolithisch-fruhkupferzeitlichen Lengyel-Kultur belegt.In dem vorliegenden Buch werden vor allem die Vorstellungen bezuglich der in den Lengyel-Nekropolen belegten, mit dem Kopf oder dem Schadel zusammenhangenden Formen der postmortalen Eingriffe, die eventuell auf den Schadelkult hinweisenden Erscheinungen im Hinblick auch auf die zeitgleichen und fruheren neolithischen Gemeinschaften des mittel- und sudosteuropaischen Raumes oder des nahostlichen Bereiches behandelt. Nach der Bestimmung der Formen oder Typen des Schadelkultes wird auch nach dem Vorgang der Beisetzung der Toten und der postmortalen Manipulation des Schadels sowie auch nach der moglichen Sinndeutung und der Herkunft dieser Erscheinungen in den behandelten prahistorischen Gemeinschaften gefragt.
