ATU 401A* ‘The Soldiers in the Enchanted Castle’ was checked in full; it requires a group of soldiers, a guard/task condition imposed by a white woman, disobedience, and the ensuing disenchantment/reward plot. The source has none of that sequence.

Thompson-Motive

E425.1.1 ‘Revenant as lady in white’ is possible: the white maiden’s repeated appearance is reported, but death/revenant status is unstated; E422.4.3 ‘Ghost in white’ has the same missing identification. F555 ‘Remarkable hair’ is supported by the salient long-hair description; narrower F555.3 requires very long hair, not established. F232.4 requires a fairy, which is not stated.

  The reported figure is a white maiden who repeatedly descends from a castle, but the source does not state that she is dead or a revenant. The specific white-revenant definition is therefore genuinely uncertain, not established.

  • „Zu ihr soll manchmal aus der Hohenburg eine weiße Jungfrau hinabsteigen, ihre langen Haare in der Quelle waschen, sich dann lächelnd zu einer am Abhange gelegenen Meierei begeben um bald darauf weinend zur Burg zurückzukehren.“

• Thompson F555 · Remarkable hair.

  The text singles out the maiden’s long hair as a salient trait and describes her washing it, matching the broader F555 “Remarkable hair.” F555.3’s narrower “Very long hair” is not established by the wording.
