608. Die vier Parchimer Rathsherren.

ATU-Erzähltypen

Zuordnung derzeit offen.

The entry joins two separately credited oral accounts: the recurring card-playing dead councillors (Seminarist Angerstein) and a shepherd’s distinct sighting with a death prediction and Bahlke’s reported accident (Gymnasiast Bölte). The shared councillors and place link the local legend complex, but do not establish one whole plot. No episode boundary is authorized in the packet, so ATU 934 cannot be scoped to the second account; ATU is blocked.

Thompson-Motive

The first separately reported account supports the dead councilmen meeting (E490) and playing cards (E577.2). The second account reports a missing-rung chair prediction and a later death, but M341.2 specifically requires death by a particular instrument and fulfillment despite precautions; the predicted removal by a dead coachman is not connected in the text to Bahlke’s sack accident. I remove M341.2. Thompson passage assignments remain scoped only to the text they describe.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The complete entry is “Meetings of the dead.” The account states the dead councilmen continue their meetings, now seen in the woods. Their friendship and fraud are contextual history; the match is the reported post-death gathering.

  • „Als sie starben, konnten sie keine Ruhe finden, sondern sie hatten ihre Zusammenkünfte,“
  • „sind sie zuweilen im ›Buchholze‹ sitzend und Karten spielend gesehen worden.“

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The full entry is “Dead persons play cards.” The people are explicitly described as deceased councilmen and are seen playing cards; the source directly satisfies the definition.
