Abstract

Die Handwerksbruderschaften verbanden Kirche und Stadt, Zünfte und Gesellen, Laienfrömmigkeit und Sozialleistungen. Die Gestaltung der Prozessionen vermittelte den sozialen Rang der teilnehmenden Gruppen im öffentlichen Raum. Eine Veränderung der traditionellen Aufstellungsposition konnte als Verletzung der Ehre ausgelegt werden. Auch der Weg einer Prozession gab wichtige Hinweise auf die sakrale Topographie einer Stadt. Am Ende des Mittelalters übernahmen die Bruderschaften Funktionen, die früher ausschließlich den mächtigeren gesellschaftlichen und kirchlichen Institutionen vorbehalten gewesen waren.

AbstractLanguage
Crafts’ confraternities connected church and city, guilds and journeymen, lay piety and social benefits. The layout of processions publicly communicated the social rank of the participating groups. Altering traditional positions in the formation could be interpreted as a violation of honor. The path of a procession also displayed important information about the sacral topography of a city. At the end of the Middle Ages confraternities were assuming functions that had once belonged exclusively to more powerful social and ecclesiastical institutions.English
