The local witch legend includes cat transformation, interrupted theft and lasting injury; no whole-story ATU sequence was supported.

Thompson-Motive

G211.1.7 fits the explicit witch-to-cat transformation during an attempted theft. D702.1 remains possible: while in cat form the witch loses an ear, and afterward as a woman she wears her cap tilted toward the missing ear; the return to human form is implicit in “die Frau.” D702.1.1 (cat’s paw/woman’s hand) is not applied to the different ear injury. G266 is rejected because the woman is caught trying to steal and no item is said to be taken.

  G211.1.7 is “Witch in form of cat”; the OCR is damaged, but the woman is explicitly called a witch and the transformation into a cat is legible. G252 concerns a cut-off paw/hand and corresponding missing human hand; here an ear is cut off and the woman’s cap is later tilted toward the missing ear, so that hand/paw-specific entry does not fit.

• Thompson D702.1 · Disenchantment with missing member.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  D702.1 describes a person who loses a bodily member while transformed and still lacks it when disenchanted. Here a witch becomes a cat, the cat’s ear is cut off, and thereafter the human woman has a missing ear. The return from cat to human is implicit in the ensuing description of “die Frau”; the source’s OCR corruption makes the exact transformation wording less secure, so possible. D702.1.1 is specifically cat’s paw/woman’s hand and is not applied to an ear.

  • „Eine Frau, in Oberbronn welche eine Here war, verwandelte sic oh f it n eine Kaße.“
  • „Jemand erwischte sie einst, als is e eben etwas aus seinem Hause entwenden wollte und hieb der Kaße ein Ohr ab.“
  • „Von dieser Zeit an trug die Frau immer ihre Kappe stark auf die Seite des fehlenden Ohres hingeneigt“
