Abstract
In this chapter the adelic interpretation of modular forms is used to give an adelic description of their L-functions, which, as a byproduct, are vastly generalized. These general automorphic L-functions are defined as Euler products, the factor at a prime p is obtained from a p-adic representation, using the so called Satake Transformation. The analytic continuation of the L-function is obtained as an application of the Poisson Summation Formula. At the end of the chapter it finally is shown that this new, much more general construction of L-functions is compatible with the definitions of Chap. 3.
