The resonance-like excitation function that is observed in (pi+, pi-)-
-reactions near 50 MeV in all investigated nuclei, has not been explai
ned by conventional reaction mechanisms. We demonstrate that the world
data base is reproduced with few parameters assuming a narrow resonan
ce in the piNN-subsystem with mass 2065 MeV, J(P) = 0- and isospin eve
n.
