    Pressetext:
    In der ehemaligen Stiftskirche St. Leonhard in Frankfurt hat sich ein reicher Schatz an liturgischen Geräten und Textilien erhalten, der hier erstmals in seiner Gesamtheit auf der Grundlage eingehender Quellenstudien publiziert wird. Daraus resultieren aufschlussreiche Erkenntnisse zur Frankfurter Stadtgeschichte.
    Der Bestand umfasst an die achtzig Gold- und Silberschmiedewerke und ebenso viele kostbare liturgische Gewänder, die zum Teil aus Hofkleidern des 18. Jh. entstanden sind. Die prachtvollsten Geräte und Paramente stammen aus der Karmeliterkirche, deren liturgische Ausstattung im frühen 19. Jh. von der Leonhardskirche übernommen wurde. Der Einführung in die Geschichte des Kirchenschatzes und in seine kunsthistorischen Besonderheiten schließt sich ein ausführlicher Katalog zu den liturgischen Geräten und Textilien an.

    Marc Spohr ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Museum Humpis-Quartier in Ravensburg und kuratiert die Ausstellung "Auf Tuchfühlung. 1000 Jahre Textilgeschichte in Ravensburg und am Bodensee".
    Ravensburg war über Jahrhunderte hinweg eine Textilstadt. Die Produktion von Leinwand und dem Baumwollmischgewebe Barchent brachten der Stadt und der gesamten Region Bodensee-Oberschwaben im Spätmittelalter Reichtum. - Das Gebiet vom Schwarzwald bis zum Lech und von der Schwäbischen Alb bis über den Bodensee nach St. Gallen war im Spätmittelalter eines der wichtigsten Textilreviere Europas. Mit den städtischen Zentren St. Gallen, Konstanz, Ravensburg, Biberach, Ulm und Augsburg bildete die Region ein geschlossenes Wirtschaftsgebiet. In den Städten und auf dem Land schossen tagein tagaus die Webschiffchen durch die Webstühle. Die gesamte ummauerte Reichsstadt Ravensburg war mit Orten, Institutionen und Menschen besiedelt, die Textilien produzierten, veredelten und verkauften. Ihre Erzeugnisse wurden von den süddeutschen Handelsgesellschaften nach ganz Europa exportiert. - Durch den Dreißigjährigen Krieg und die Entstehung neuer Textilreviere verlor Ravensburg während der frühen Neuzeit an Bedeutung. Die Stadt nahm nur noch eine Zulieferfunktion für die aufstrebende St. Galler Textilwirtschaft ein, die sie mit Garn und Arbeitskräften für die Stickerei versorgte. - Während des 19. Jahrhunderts erlebte die Textilwirtschaft in Süddeutschland eine Renaissance. Sie wurde zum Leitsektor der frühen Industrialisierung. In Ravensburg entstanden mechanisierte Webereien, Spinnereien und Stickereien. Durch die Globalisierung fand die Textilproduktion im 20. Jahrhundert ein jähes Ende und die Tradition Ravensburgs als Textilstandort wurde endgültig begraben.
