ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

No proposed whole-plot ATU instance. The whole-plot queries return no matching type for the local sequence of church bells targeted by pagans, a claimed dream instruction to sink them in a lake, periodic surfacing and flight, and retrieval after cloth stops their motion. Returned candidates such as ATU 75* (wolf and nurse), 1634A* (fish promised for food and money), 312D (rescue by brother), and 944* (musician and sea inundation) have different central agents and plot conditions. No whole-tale type is inferred from the presence of bells, water, or oxen.

Thompson-Motive

No Thompson assignment proposed. The bells are purchased for a new Christian church, and local pagans plan to destroy them because of their sound. The returned V115 parent is only “Church bells”; A1466 is “Origin of church bells,” while F451.5.9.3 specifically says dwarfs dislike church bells. None states the observed hostility/planned destruction by pagans, and I do not promote a generic shared bell reference to an instance. Proposed Thompson V115.1 for the reported sinking of church bells in the Nienhager See. The full entry is “Church bell sunk in river (sea),” under V115 “Church bells”; the local lake is the same stated water setting at the level of the broad definition. The farmer’s claim that a dream commanded the act is recorded as the source’s reported belief, not treated as proof that a supernatural actor appeared. Proposed Thompson V115.1 for the subsequent reported belief that the submerged bells surface, swim away from people, and sink again. The broad definition is “Church bell sunk in river (sea)”; this observation concerns the same explicitly submerged church bells. I do not assign V115.1.1 (“Sunken bell travels on sea bottom”), since they rise to the surface and no sea-bottom travel is described. Proposed Thompson D1654.10 only for the failed attempt to move the bells with four horses and their return to Dobbertin with two oxen. The full definition is “Bell refuses to be moved,” under D1654 “Immovable object.” The evidence shows resistance to the attempted move, followed by movement back by oxen, so the instance is limited to that relocation episode. V143.2 requires relics (images) carried away to return to their original church; the text calls them bells, and the account does not identify them as relics or images.

  The enriched full entry reads “Church bell sunk in river (sea),” under “Church bells.” A lake is explicitly the water location in this report. The quoted dream motivation remains a reported belief, not an additional inferred condition.

  • „gab vor, er sei durch einen Traum aufgefordert, die Dobbertiner Glocken in den Nienhager See zu versenken.“
  • „So wurden sie auf einem mit zwei Ochsen bespannten Wagen nach dem See gefahren und hinabgelassen.“

  The full motif is simply “Church bell sunk in river (sea).” The source explicitly identifies these as submerged church bells that rise and sink again; the scope is this sunken-bell belief. I reject the narrower V115.1.1 because the text has surface appearances, not travel on the sea bottom.

  • „Da sah man an einem Sonntage Mittags zwischen 12 und 1 Uhr die Glocken aus der Tiefe an die Oberfläche kommen und auf den Wellen schwimmen.“
  • „Wollte man aber sich ihnen nähern, so schwammen sie schnell fort und versanken nach einer Stunde in der Tiefe.“

  The full D1654.10 definition is “Bell refuses to be moved,” under “Immovable object.” It fits the particular failed relocation attempt. The bells do move when oxen pull them, so I do not claim absolute immovability. V143.2 is limited to relics/images and is not applied to bells merely because they return to a church.

  • „Aber trotz aller Anstrengung vermochten die Pferde den Wagen nicht fortzubewegen.“
  • „Mit Leichtigkeit zogen jetzt die Ochsen den Wagen und die Glocken wurden aufs neue in der Kirche zu Dobbertin aufgehängt.“
