Fixed locations of the tale include the Weissenboden below the Kinzig Pass in the Sch\u00e4chental and the Urserental.<\/p>\n<p>In the core plot, solitary herdsmen, out of boredom during the lonely alpine summer, fashion a doll: the head from a piece of wood mounted on a manure fork, painted with eyes, nose and a red mouth, yellow ribbons as hair, straw bales as breasts. The doll is treated like a person, led to dance, seated at the table and left to spend the night in the hut. During a kind of baptism ceremony at the end of the alpine season, in which the doll is drenched with liquid manure, it opens its eyes, according to the legend, and begins to act.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a584676 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5a584676\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d0757bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6d0757bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Legacy and classification<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60563f68 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60563f68\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a93fdd6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a93fdd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The motif has been taken up artistically several times in the 20th and 21st centuries: Hansj\u00f6rg Schneider&#8217;s dialect play from 1972 triggered a complaint for blasphemy after its television broadcast in 1981, Jost Meier set the material as an opera, and Michael Steiner&#8217;s 2010 feature film Sennentuntschi brought the legend to a wide audience. Marie Luise Kaschnitz also took up the motif literarily in 1966 in the story Der Tunsch.<\/p>\n<p>From a religious-studies perspective, the Sennentuntschi can be read as an atonement legend: the punishment inflicted on the tormented herdsman is interpreted in research as a religious addition meant to retroactively atone for the transgression of creation and the treatment of the doll. At the same time, the tale reflects the real isolation of alpine herdsmen during the summer months. A small wooden doll in the R\u00e4tisches Museum Chur is considered the only surviving object of this kind; according to the museum&#8217;s management, what it was actually used for is not confirmed. The proximity to the ancient Pygmalion motif of the animated statue is discussed in research, though no direct derivation can be proven.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp9a031aa e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cp9a031aa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp9193514 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cp9193514\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Abstention as the only recorded form of protection<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp02ca0ee e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cp02ca0ee\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp444e0f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cp444e0f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Unlike many other legendary figures, the tradition surrounding the Sennentuntschi records hardly any dedicated protective means of its own, since the danger arises from the herdsmen&#8217;s own actions rather than from an outside source. The most important recorded rule is therefore abstention itself: not to shape a doll in human form and not to treat it like a living person. In some versions it is reported that a priest summoned in time, or a church blessing, could still have averted the disaster, which brings the legend close to general notions of penance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp11de5b2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cp11de5b2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp8d35271 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cp8d35271\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Golem and related alpine beings<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp02f26b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cp02f26b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cp58c4390 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cp58c4390\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A structural parallel is offered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/iwell-guard.com\/en\/golem\/\">Golem<\/a> of Jewish tradition, a figure shaped from clay and artificially animated, which escapes the control of its creator.
