The cult of St. Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgin Martyrs of Cologne was the most widespread relic cult in medieval Europe. The sheer abundance of relics of the Eleven Thousand Virgins, which allowed for the display of immense collections, shaped the notion of corporate cohesion that characterized the cult. Though the primacy of St. Ursula as the leader of this holy band was established by the tenth century, she was conceived as the head of a corporate body. Innumerable inventories and liturgical texts attest to the fact that this cult was commemorated and referenced as a collective mass - Undecim millium virginum. This group identity informed, and was formulated by, the presentation of their relics, as well as much of the imagery associated with this cult. This book explores the visual, textual, performative, and perceptual aspects of this phenomenon, with particular emphasis on painting and sculpture in late medieval Cologne. Examining the ways in which both texts and images worked as vestments, garbing the true core of relics which formed the body of the cult, the book examines the cult from the core outward, seeking to understand hagiographic texts and images in terms of their role in articulating relic cults.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Gattungen, Note: sehr gut, Technische Universität Dortmund (Kulturwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Sagen und Legenden, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Thema dieser Hausarbeit für das Seminar „Sagen und Legenden“ entstand daraus, dass meine Mutter Ursula heißt. Deswegen begab ich mich auf die Suche nach der Legende von St.Ursula und den 11000 Jungfrauen. Meine Wege führten mich nicht nur in die Bibliothek und ins Internet, sondern unter anderem auch in die St. Ursula Gemeinde in Köln, wo die Grabkammer der heiligen Ursula ist. Leider konnte ich diese nicht besichtigen, da sie momentan wegen Renovierungsarbeiten geschlossen ist. Aber ganz umsonst war die Fahrt nach Köln nicht, da ich im Pfarramt der St. Ursula Gemeinde eine Broschüre über Rheinische Kunststätten erhalten habe. Ein weiterer Weg führte mich in das Zisterzienser Kloster in Bochum-Stiepel, da ich gelesen hatte, dass die Zisterzienser einen Ursula-Kult betreiben würden. Dort durfte ich für meine Recherche sogar in die Bibliothek des Klosters. Ich hätte im Vorfeld dieser Hausarbeit nicht gedacht, dass es so interessant sei, nach einer Legende zu forschen, doch ich wurde eines Besseren belehrt. Jedes mal, wenn ich vor hatte, diese Hausarbeit zu schreiben, entdeckte ich neue Geschichten und Fakten rund um die Legende von St.Ursula und den 11000 Jungfrauen. Ich hoffe, dass das Lesen dieser Arbeit genauso viel Spaß macht, wie es mir die Suche nach der Legende bereitet hat.
