Der Schatzfund aus dem Stadtweinhaus in Münster / Westfalen und vergleichbare Schatzfunde des hohen und späten Mittelalters als archäologische Quelle
Monographien des RGZM, Volume 144
The starting point of the study is the detailed analysis of the treasure find from the Stadtweinhaus in Münster/Westphalia. With an ensemble of richly decorated jewellery, it is not only one of the largest late medieval treasure finds in Central Europe, but also a prime example for the entire source group due to its typical find and research history.
Through the comprehensive evaluation of the treasure find, the traditional interpretation as the hoard of a Jewish pawnbroker is questioned for the first time and expanded by alternative interpretations. The comparison with 324 treasure finds rounds off the study on the source value of these intentionally deposited collections of valuable objects.
