85. Der Schwan im Teufelssee.

ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

This brief belief report says a swan appears at the lake and identifies it as the princess whose castle sank there. It does not give a complete ATU plot; a swan transformation or return-from-death tale cannot be inferred from the identity statement alone.

Thompson-Motive

The source is one brief local belief account, not an episode collection. F725.3.2 is retained for the submerged castle; D161.1 is added as a possible motif because the princess is explicitly identified as the swan, while the transformation itself is not narrated. The other checked candidates require a revenant or fairy identity not stated here.

  The legend explicitly states that the princess’s castle sank into the lake. F725.3.2 is “Castle under lake,” a stated place-property; the definition does not require an enacted journey to the castle.

  • „Im Teufelssee am Fuß der Müggelsberge bei Köpenick hat sich früher oft ein Schwan sehen lassen, das ist die Prinzessin gewesen, deren Schloß dort in den See versunken ist.“

• Thompson D161.1 · Transformation: man to swan.

  Mögliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The account explicitly identifies the repeatedly seen swan as the princess, so it presents the princess in swan form. The full D161.1 entry is “Transformation: man to swan”; this supports the motif as a possible passage assignment even though the account does not narrate how or when the transformation occurred.
