ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

The whole-plot search ranked unrelated types. Full ATU 770 concerns a nun who leaves her convent and the Virgin taking her place; this story has no such vow-breaking/absence/substitution plot. 1045 concerns a man bluffing an ogre about pulling a lake together, also absent. No retrieved complete plot definition fits the submerged monastery, omen, and later drowning as an integrated legend.

Thompson-Motive

Thompson F944.1 is city sinking into a sea or lake as punishment; a monastery is not described as a city. F941.2.3 is a temple swallowed by earth; this monastery is submerged by divine judgment in a lake, not swallowed by earth. The more specific viewed matches conflict with the stated object/mechanism. The two sound searches ranked unrelated St John’s day appearances and generic bell entries; none of the fully inspected relevant candidates defined submerged church bells heard at a specific time. The full-plot ATU results likewise gave no fit. Assembly-time full-definition follow-up: Rejected: full entry “Bells on horse’s mane” concerns bells attached to a horse, not a church bell heard beneath the lake; no matching action/object.; Rejected: full entry “Fairies emerge on St. John’s night” concerns fairies, not church bells surfacing or sounding. The shared St John date alone is insufficient. Direct definition match to apparition functioning as a death omen. Exact death mechanism, scoped only to the drowning episode.

  Definition: “Appearance of ghost serves as death omen.” The passing observers see a lamenting washer nun, and the text expressly says that after this appearance the lake soon demands another victim. The causal prediction is explicit.

  • „Auch sehen Vorübergehende manchmal in hellen Nächten eine Klosterfrau am Ufer des Sees sitzen, welche eifrig mit Waschen beschäftigt ist und dazwischen laute Klagerufe ausstößt.“
  • „Wenn diese Erscheinung stattgefunden hat, dann fordert der See in nächster Zeit wieder ein Opfer.“

  Definition: “Death by drowning.” The text explicitly says the man and horses “fand ... den Tod in den Wellen.” The entry is broad but the stated manner of death is exact.

  • „Er wollte seine Pferde tränken und fuhr mit dem Wagen in den See hinein, wo er wenig Vorland hat, sondern schnell tief wird.“
  • „Den bergabgehenden Wagen konnten die Pferde nicht mehr aufhalten und der Mann fand mit seinen Pferden den Tod in den Wellen.“
