515. Die Glocke in Warsow.

ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

No proposed whole-plot ATU instance. The whole-plot retrieval returned 207C (animals ring a bell and demand justice), 965* (robbers’ alarm bell) and 325* (sorcerer’s apprentice). Their full definitions require, respectively, an animal petition/accusation (or snake/toad justice episode), robbers using a wire-bell to detect and capture travelers followed by the captive girl’s escape, or an apprentice raising a spirit from a forbidden book and needing the sorcerer to dismiss it. None of those plot conditions occurs: this is a bell founder’s apprentice, a mistaken belief and murder, a bell’s lament, and a later relocation attempt. No whole-tale match is inferred from shared words “bell” or “apprentice.”

Thompson-Motive

Thompson S110 is the only proposed motif for this fact. The source explicitly narrates a homicide and the full definition “Murders” has no narrower perpetrator or method condition. Returned alternatives about devil exorcism with bell/book/candle, killed game reviving, or bell-not-raising taboos do not describe this master killing his apprentice. The ATU candidates are evaluated as whole plots below; this single murder fact does not establish any of those tale types. D1610.15.1 fits the reported belief exactly: the source says the bell calls intelligible words, not merely that it has an unusual sound. The child entry says “Church bell speaks”; I retain it and do not narrow it to D1610.15.2 (“Saint’s bell speaks”), since there is no saint in the text. ATU candidates are considered at whole-plot scope only. D1654.10 is a direct but limited fit for the alternate account: the bell resists being carried to Schwerin, although eight oxen do pull it back to Warsow. The text does not establish that it is absolutely immovable, so the scope is only the failed relocation in unit 6. E411.0.3.1 is about a dead body that cannot be moved, and is rejected because the object here is a bell.

  The full S110 entry is simply “Murders.” The source explicitly states that the master stabbed the apprentice to death in anger after mistakenly believing the casting ruined. No narrower perpetrator or method condition is present in S110.

  • „Wie der Meister zurückkam, glaubte er, das ganze Werk sei verdorben und stach im Zorn den Lehrjungen todt.“

  Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

  The exact enriched child definition is “Church bell speaks,” under D1610 “Magic speaking objects” and D1610.15 “Speaking bell.” The text directly attributes a repeated intelligible lament to the bell. D1610.15.2 is “Saint’s bell speaks,” which adds a saint absent here; I retain the broader child D1610.15.1.

  • „Dat de Lirjung dod is.‹“

• Thompson D1654.10 · Bell refuses to be moved.

  Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The full D1654.10 definition is “Bell refuses to be moved,” under D1654 “Immovable object.” In this variant, twelve horses cannot take the bell across the boundary to the new destination, so it is drawn back to Warsow. The bell is movable back by oxen, so I scope the motif to its resistance to removal to Schwerin, not to absolute immobility or the separate earlier murder/speaking-bell facts.

  • „als die Glocke später nach Schwerin gebracht werden sollte, zwölf Pferde sie nicht über die Feldscheide bringen konnten; sie wurde daher von acht Ochsen nach Warsow zurückgezogen.“
