  • By Johanna Liedke

Product Description
German description: Das Wittenberger Heiltum gehorte um 1520 zu den grossten Reliquiensammlungen des romisch-deutschen Reiches. Durch seine Aufbewahrung in der Wittenberger Schlosskirche und seinen Sammler Friedrich den Weisen steht es in Verbindung mit Ereignissen der fruhen Reformation. Ausserdem sind die Holzschnitte des Heiltumsbuches aus der Werkstatt Lucas Cranachs des Alteren von kunsthistorischem Interesse. Die quellenbasierte Studie untersucht das Heiltum in seiner Entwicklung, die Reliquienerwerbungen, Sammlungssystematik und liturgische Verwendung der Reliquiare. Diese werden in den Kontext der personlichen Frommigkeit, sakralen Herrschaftsreprasentation und Kirchenpolitik Friedrichs des Weisen eingeordnet. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Sammlung zentral fur die Residenzfunktion Wittenbergs in den Jahren vor der Reformation war. English summary: Around 1520, the Wittenberger Heiltum was one of the largest collections of relics in the Roman-German Empire. Through its preservation in the Wittenberg Castle Church and its collector Frederick the Wise, it is connected to events of the early Reformation. In addition, the woodcuts of the Heiltumbuch from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder are of interest for art history. This study refers to sources in its examination of the Heiltum in its development, relic acquisitions, collection system, and liturgical use of reliquaries. These are arranged in the context of Frederick the Wise's personal piety, sacral representation of power, and church policy. It thus becomes clear that the collection was central to the residential function of Wittenberg in the years prior to the Reformation.
