Lot 7079 | Handprothese, Replik der berühmten "Eisernen Hand" des Götz von Berlichingen
Zweiteilig gearbeitete, runde, leicht konische Armschiene (Stulp) zur Befestigung der Prothese am Unterarm. Scharniergelagerte Klappe mit zwei Lederriemen und Schnallen geschlossen. Vier einzelne Finger in drei Gelenken, der Daumen in zwei Gelenken beweglich. Zwei Knöpfe dienten dazu, den Daumen bzw. die vier übrigen Finger durch Federkraft wieder in die Normalstellung (offene Hand) zu bringen. Länge (mit gestreckten Fingern) 38 cm. Götz von Berlichingen (ca. 1480 - 1562) verlor seine rechte Hand 1504 durch den Schuss einer Feldschlange während des Landshuter Erbfolgekrieges. Das vorliegende Objekt ist eine Replik seiner zweiten "Eisernen Hand", der weitaus bekannteren, die um 1530, also 20 Jahren nach der ersten, gefertigt wurde. Der Mechanismus befindet sich ausschließlich in der eigentlichen Hand. Mit der gesunden Hand musste der Träger die Fingerglieder der Prothese in die gewünschte Position bringen, wo sie durch einen Sperrklinkenmechanismus arretierten. Zustand: II -
