Das Adelheidkreuz aus der Benediktinerabtei St. Blasien im Schwarzwald
The subject of this study is the so-called Adelheid Cross from the Benedictine Abbey of St. Blasien in the Black Forest, one of the most important cruces gammatae of the High Middle Ages with a cross relic. The original appearance of this cimelia and its transformation in the time around 1140/1150 are studied. The contemporary written tradition on the origin of the cross relic undergoes a new evaluation. Further focal points are the question of the patron, the list of other relics preserved in the cross and its liturgical function. The relation between the cross and a 12th century chasuble, also from St. Blasien, is also discussed.
