Abstract	The aim of Olympic Education is to promote the values of Olympism which are the "entirety of values developed beyond physical strength by doing sports" (Müller, 1998, p. 387). So Olympic Education is more than teaching people how to do and to participate in sports - although this is very important, too. But what is more important than the physical education -especially for young people in schools and in sports clubs- are those values promoted by sports activities concerning the "spiritual attitude" (Coubertin, 1918; Müller, 1998, p. 388). I would like to outline some ideas concerning the following three questions: 1. What is the meaning of "value"? 2. Which values does the contemporary Olympism imply? 3. What is the importance of the values of Olympism in today's occidental societies? Einleitung.
