Synopsis
Contributing Authors

2011 wurde in der ehemaligen Synagoge in Niederzissen eine umfangreiche Genisa geborgen. Genisot resultierten aus dem religiosen Verbot, nicht mehr verwendete religiose Schriften und Gegenstande wegzuwerfen, was in judischen Landgemeinden zu dem Brauch fuhrte, sie auf dem Dachboden der Synagoge zu deponieren. Das Besondere am Niederzissener Fund ist der umfangreiche Textilbestand, der neben einer grossen Anzahl an schriftlichen Zeugnissen geborgen wurde, da Textilien in Genisot meist nur Marginalfunde sind. Er umfasst rund 300 Objekte, darunter unter anderem Tormantel und -vorhange, Gebetsmantel und Torawickelbander, und stellt ein ausserordentlich seltenes Kulturdokument des deutschen Landjudentums dar. Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich einer Objektanalyse dieser Textilien als kulturgeschichtliche Quellen und erschliesst damit neue Perspektiven auf judische Landgemeinden. Die Objekte werden in ihrer Komplexitat als Handlungs- und Bedeutungstrager in verschiedenen Zeit- und Funktionsraumen betrachtet.
