Mural of a Widnau legend about the Stäckaborawybli |
|||||||||||||||||
| Description |
The fresco depicts the legendary Widnau Christmas story of the Stäckaborawybli. According to the story, an ancient, pious noblewoman lived above the mountain in Hohenems. On Sundays she always attended mass in Lustenau. The path on which she used to walk into the valley was called "Steckenweg", which gave the noblewoman the nickname "Steckenwybli" (Steckenweiblein) or "Stäckaborawybli". The Stäckaborawybli gave the first bell to the parish church of Lustenau, which has been rung one hour before the beginning of the Christmas service ever since. Even after the ecclesiastical separation of Hohenems and Lustenau, the Stäckaborawybli attended the Christmas service in Lustenau - to the sound of the bell she had given. Once at Christmas, when one rang the Stäckaborawybli's bell in vain, she was found dead. At the same time, her little bell rang as if moved by a ghostly hand. In Widnau, when the little bell rings one hour before Christmas mass, the children are told the legend of the pious noble lady who rides on a deer and is accompanied by an angel on her way to church. Albert Wider narratively sums up the main elements of the story: the lady riding on a deer, the ringing bell, the Christmas tree, animals in the snow, Glopper Castle, day and night. However, the artist also expands his design with fairy tale figures (The Frog Prince, dwarfs) and local reminiscences (Rhine). The depiction is sensitively transformed to the level of pre-school children and shows almost childlike features in the motifs. |
