Der Herrscherbesuch war ein ehrenvolles Ereignis, das als Anlass und Thema schon in den fruhesten profanen Wandmalereien des Mittelalters fassbar ist. Svenja Trubenbachs Studie untersucht dieses Phanomen erstmals fur den beruhmten Maximilian I. Im Zentrum stehen Bildprogramme der Anwesen, in denen der Konig bzw. Kaiser (mutmasslich) empfangen wurde oder werden sollte. Mit welchen Bildern reagierten die Hausherren auf den Besuch, wie setzten sie sie ein, um sich und ihr Haus zu empfehlen? Welche Vorstellungen von koniglich-kaiserlicher Macht und Herrschaft spiegeln sich darin wider und wo verorteten sich die Auftraggeber diesbezuglich selbst? Nicht zuletzt stellt sich die Frage, welche Rolle der Aufenthalt Maximilians I. und die Wandgemalde fur die eigene Macht oder gar Herrschaft der Gastgeber spielten.
The ruler’s visit was a highly honorable event that can be traced both as an occasion and subject already in the earliest secular wall paintings of the Middle Ages. Svenja Trubenbachs study examines this phenomenon for the first time concerning the famous Habsburg Maximilian I. The focus is on the pictorial programs of the castles and houses in which the Holy Roman King and later Emperor was or was to be (presumably) received. With which images did the owners react to the visit, how did they use them to recommend themselves and their house? What ideas of royal and imperial power do the paintings reflect, and where did the clients place themselves in this regard? Last but not least, the question arises as to what role Maximilian’s stay and the murals played for the hosts’ own power.
