The article discusses the functions and structures of self-sacrifice in relevant literary representations. The central argument is that self-sacrifice – not only with a view to the culture of the Middle Ages – should, in a twofold sense, make  verfügbar  that which is not  verfügbar : on the one hand, that which in current life is not accessible and, on the other, that which aims beyond the frontier of death. The prototype for self-sacrifice is, to be sure, constituted by the Passion of Christ which provides the model of  imitatio  as a certain path to salvation; however, since selfdestruction is part of this  imitatio , it becomes an illegitimate form of disposing of one’s own life, and this is in conflict with the Christian ethic.
