August 2004 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Gregor Morfill 2. Gutachter: Dr. Hans B¨ohringer Tag der mu¨ndlichen Pru¨fung: 14.

IamgratefultoDr. WolfgangVogesforperformingthecross-correlationswiththeROSAT catalogs and I also wish to thank Dr. Hans B¨ohringer for providing his cluster catalogs with useful X-ray data employed in this thesis. It is a pleasure to thank Dr. I. Papadakis at the University of Crete who made possible the Skinakas observations described in Ap- pendix A. My PhD work was carried out in the framework of the graduate program of the Inter- national Max-Planck Research School on Astrophysics to which I am therefore greatly indebted. I am also grateful to Prof. Dr. G. Morfill who welcomed me in his theory group and who provided financial support for the last months of my stay at MPE. Finally, I would like to thank my family for the unconditional and uninterrupted support they give me, each of them by his own means and in his own way. A final thank goes to Mustapha who helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground.
