No whole-story ATU type is supported. The passage is a short local revenant account; it does not contain the characteristic sequence of an ATU tale involving a dead mother.

Thompson-Motive

E323.1.1 matches the dead mother’s return to nurse her infant; E425.1.1 matches the dead woman’s return in white funeral clothing. E412.3.3 also fits the concrete unshod burial and repeated return to ask for shoes, with possible rather than probable certainty because Thompson’s word “man” may be generic or male-specific. Its local E412.3 definition concerns improper funeral rites; the broad E412 religious-ban wording is not imposed as a child condition.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  E412.3.3 is “Dead man asks for shoes (was buried without them).” The source explicitly states that this dead woman was buried without shoes, returns to ask why she has none, describes the painful unshod journey, and continues returning nightly. The candidate’s word “man” can be read as generic “person” in Thompson’s condensed motif label, but its literal sex wording also admits a male-specific reading; that genuine catalogue-language ambiguity lowers certainty to possible. E412.3’s full entry is “Dead without proper funeral rites cannot rest”; the missing footwear and recurrent return match its burial-rite context. The broader E412 prefix says a person under religious ban cannot rest, but E412.3 explicitly changes to improper funeral rites, so no religious-ban condition is imported.

  • „der hatte man keine Schuhe mit ins Grab gegeben, wie dies gewöhnlich geschicht.“
  • „Warum habt ihr mir keine Schuhe angelegt ? Ich muß durch Disteln und Dornen und über spißige Steine. "“
  • „der Geist kehrte während sechs Wochen jede Nacht zurück, um den Säugling zu stillen .“
