750. Das Marienbild zu Dettelbach und die Schweden

ATU-Erzähltypen

Zuordnung derzeit offen.

The single article relates the Swedish plundering and the image left untouched to a report of residents seeing the Virgin above the church. The same image/place links them, but the source states no causal or episode relation. I cannot establish whether this is one connected legend or two independent reports, so the whole-story ATU outcome remains blocked without a boundary; the Thompson apparition motif is assessed separately.

Thompson-Motive

V250 is supported by the reported Virgin apparition; A751.8 by the separate report that the Virgin, carrying the child, stood in the moon. Neither passage assignment establishes a causal link to the Swedish raid; ATU scope remains blocked.

• Thompson V250 · The Virgin Mary.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The source reports residents seeing the heavenly Virgin carrying the Christ Child above the pilgrimage church. This is an actual reported Marian apparition, not merely the title or mention of an image.

  • „Einige Bewohner von Dettelbach sahen die himmlische Jungfrau, das Jesukind auf dem Arme tragend, und im Monde stehend, mitten über der Wallfahrtskirche schweben.“

• Thompson A751.8 · Woman in the moon.

  Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The report explicitly places the Virgin carrying Jesus in the moon, matching the broad “Woman in the moon” motif. This passage-level motif does not resolve the separate ATU scope problem.
