ATU 425M was checked in full: it requires a serpent/water-being to steal a bathing girl’s clothes, bargain for marriage, and take her to a splendid castle, followed by children and tasks. This account has a bathing elf and a suitor condition involving her hem, but no stolen garment, serpent husband, actual marriage, or subsequent plot. 403C, the substituted bride, is unrelated.

Thompson-Motive

F265 is probable because the source expressly names the appearing being as an Elfe and says she bathes singing. N572.1 remains possible: the white woman is linked to treasure and her riches, but active guardianship is not stated. F300 was considered but no marriage or liaison occurs; only a conditional future reward is described.

  N572.1 is “White woman as guardian of treasure.” The source explicitly places the white woman together with a treasure in the rock and says her successful suitor receives her and her riches. It does not explicitly say that she guards or protects the treasure, so this remains possible.

  • „Das Innere dieses Gesteins birgt eine weiße Frau und einen Schatz.“
  • „Demjenigen, der den Saum ihres Kleides zu berühren im Stande ist, wird die weiße Frau als Braut, nebst ihren unermeßlichen Reichthümern, angehören“
