Rezension von: Reto Krüger: Das Maulbronner Kruzifix. Kreuz und Passionsspiel im spätmittelalterlichen Maulbronn

A detailed analysis of the Maulbronn Monastery Complex's late medieval crucifix reveals its significant role in both religious iconography and theatrical performances, particularly within the context of Passion plays. The study, conducted by Reto Krüger, examines the crucifix's design, symbolism, and integration into liturgical and dramatic traditions, providing new insights into the cultural and religious practices of the period. Through a combination of art historical analysis and textual interpretation, Krüger demonstrates how the crucifix served as a central element in the monastery's spiritual and communal life, bridging visual representation and performative expression.
