Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

One etiological account explains why the annual procession is never postponed. ATU searches for procession, walking image and Mary surfaced 1643, 1829 and 1168C; the first requires a foolish sale and treasure inside a broken statue, the second a living person impersonating an image, and the third Mary rescuing a woman sold to the devil. None is the narrated procession event.

Thompson-Motive

V268.5 (“Image of Virgin Mary works miracles”) fits the reported independent Marian walk: the image disappears, is found wet and dirty outside the city, heavenly music is heard, and the account says Mary walked the route alone. D1620 is “Magic automata. Statues or images that act as if alive”; that actual reported independent walking fits this broader automaton motif. E491 is “Procession of the dead”; the procession is of the living Marian image, with no dead participants, so that known condition is absent. D1643 (“Object travels by itself”) is possible because the missing image is found outside and the report says Mary walked there alone; the attribution is not independently witnessed.

  The text reports a Marian image that leaves the church and walks the customary route alone; the wet, dirty clothing and heavenly music support the miraculous-image event.

  • „die Madonna vor den Thoren der Stadt mit nassem und beschmutztem Anzug.“
  • „Maria war den gewohnten Gang allein und zu Fuß gewandert.“

  D1620 describes statues or images acting as if alive. The account explicitly attributes an independent walk to Mary after her image disappears from church and is found outside, wet and dirty.

  • „daß das Muttergottesbild aus der Kirche verschwunden war.“
  • „Maria war den gewohnten Gang allein und zu Fuß gewandert.“

  D1643 is “Object travels by itself.” The image is missing from church and found outside the gates, while the account interprets this as Mary walking the route alone. The attribution is reported rather than independently witnessed, so the object-travel match remains possible.

  • „die Madonna vor den Thoren der Stadt mit nassem und beschmutztem Anzug. Fromme Seelen hatten in der Nacht eine himmlische Musik gehört, die aus höheren Sphären zu kommen schien:Maria war den gewohnten Gang allein und zu Fuß gewandert.“
