English summary: The Late Middle Ages at Halberstadt Cathedral have received comparatively little attention. It was a time of crisis, in which the recollection of the history of the diocese became essential for the self-presentation of the cathedral chapter. Thus, unique objects were created that visually reference the past in order to give the by then marginalized Episcopal church back its former glory. German description: Dem Spatmittelalter am Halberstadter Dom ist vergleichsweise wenig Aufmerksamkeit zuteilgeworden. Es ist eine Krisenzeit, in der die Ruckbesinnung auf die Bistumsgeschichte wesentlich wird fur die Selbstinszenierung des Domkapitels. So entstehen einzigartige Objekte, die visuell Bezug auf die Vergangenheit nehmen, um der marginalisierten Bischofskirche ihren einstigen Glanz zuruckzugeben. Beispielsweise verweist ein Ensemble von Objekten auf Karl den Grossen, den vermeintlichen Bistumsgrunder. Die Autorin wahlt einen Ansatz, der das Narrativ der Objekte freilegt, zugleich ihren Ausstattungskontext berucksichtigt und sie dadurch von ihren ursprunglichen Sinnbezugen her neu lesbar macht.
