ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

A single place-origin legend explains the chapel and later statue location. The actual whole-type candidates include ATU 1643, whose full sequence is a fool selling goods to a silent statue, returning for money and breaking it to reveal treasure, and ATU 1829, where a living person substitutes for a missing saint’s image. Neither sequence occurs. ATU 1326 requires fools trying to move a church and a stolen coat; there is no such incident.

Thompson-Motive

D868 (“Magic object returns to original place”) fits the Marian image’s repeated return from the college to its tree. V268.5 (“Image of Virgin Mary works miracles”) fits that same repeated supernatural return and its explicit interpretation as Mary favoring the site. D1654.8.1 says a sacred image is impossible to remove from its spot; here it is actually carried away to the college before returning, so inability to move is not what is narrated. V113.0.1 requires a miracle at a shrine; the image’s returns precede the chapel’s construction. D1643 (“Object travels by itself”) also fits the image’s repeated independent return; D868 captures the return to its original place.

  The image is removed from the tree to the college and returns by the next morning; the same happens twice more. This is the exact return-to-original-place motif.

  The Marian image repeatedly returns on its own, and the people explicitly understand the event as Mary’s preference for that place; this is a miracle worked by the image.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  D1643 is “Object travels by itself.” The image is carried to the college and is found at its old tree location the next morning, repeatedly, without anyone carrying it back; that independent movement is separate from D868’s return-to-origin motif.
