Summary/Abstract: In the present article we aim to underline the differences and similitudes in the use of the words body, soul and spirit in both German and Romanian language, from etymological, anthropological, phraseological and stylistic point of view. Besides the main meaning of constituents of the human being, the words become as well other more or less related meanings, which do not always show the same correspondents in the analyzed languages. The polysemy of the words, possible combinations between words, idioms will be exposed through a multitude of examples.
