Totengewänder und Grabbeigaben von Angehörigen des Adelsgeschlechts Griessenbeck von Griespach

Ein Beitrag zur Erforschung der Kleidung des Adels gegen Ende des 16. und Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts in Westböhmen

Abstract

The article describes the condition of funerary furnishings of the family Griessenbeck von Griesbach, deposited in the family tomb of the Kralovice (Kralowitz) church of Saints Peter and Paul. The clothing can be distinguished between the original from the late 16th and early 17th century, and shrouds that the bodies received as gifts during the 19th century. The analysis focused primarily on the original burial clothes, their descriptions and analogies. The research was conducted during two conservation interventions in 2012. The article concludes by addressing the ethical issue of researching burial textiles.
