Article by Franz M. Feldhaus on the Konstanz textile wall paintings, made around 1300 in a burgher's house in Konstanz and showing women at textile work. He reproduces the pictures and their inscription bands from an 1866 publication and explains each of the roughly 18 scenes. The scenes cover hemp processing, hackling, tow spinning with distaff and spindle, reeling, warping, linen weaving at a loom with a child winding the bobbin, cutting cloth, belt weaving on a frame, and silk preparation. Feldhaus discusses the Middle High German wording of the inscriptions and the tools shown, and asks textile specialists for comments.
