Özet:

 Religion played an important role in medieval German society. In the aforementioned period, German society, like the European society in general, adhered to Christianity and the teachings of the Bible. For this reason, the authors of the period frequently used religious elements and motifs in their works, and religious subjects and people were the subject of their works. Like his contemporaries, Konrad von Würzburg, one of the most important representatives of medieval German literature, uses religious figures in his works to set an example for the society. In his works Pantaleon, Alexius and Silvester, which he translated into German by reading and learning from Latin sources, the author conveys similar virtues and behaviours to his readers-listeners through different main characters and plots: Alexius who rejects the world and everything worldly, Pantaleon who risks death in the way of God, and Silvester who makes even non-believers believe in God with his miracles. The main similarities of these three main characters are their devotion and renunciation. In this study, Konrad von Würzburgs Pantaleon, Alexius and Silvester will be analysed in the context of the devotion and renunciation of the characters. While analysing the works and the main characters, how the social structure and religion affect literature will be interpreted and the teachings that the author aims to convey to the readers and listeners will be emphasised.

 Orta Çağ Alman toplumu için din önemli bir role sahiptir. Bahsi geçen dönemde Avrupa toplumu genelinde olduğu gibi Alman toplumu da Hristiyanlık ve İncil öğretilerine bağlıdır. Bu nedenle dönemin yazarları eserlerinde sıkça dini öğe ve motifleri kullanmış, dini konular ve kişileri eserlerine konu etmişlerdir. Orta Çağ Alman Edebiyatının önemli temsilcilerinden biri olan Konrad von Würzburg da çağdaşları gibi eserlerinde topluma örnek olacak dini figürler kullanır. Latince kaynaklardan okuyup öğrenerek almancalaştırdığı Pantaleon, Alexius ve Silvester eserlerinde yazar, farklı ana karakterler ve olay örgüsü aracılığı ile benzer erdem ve davranış biçimlerini okuyucu-dinleyicilerine aktarır: dünyayı ve dünyevi her şeyi reddeden Alexius, Tanrı yolunda ölümü göze alan Pantaleon ve mucizeleriyle inançlı olmayanları dahi Tanrıya inandıran Silvester. Bu üç ana karakterin temel benzerlikleri ise adanmışlık ve feragatlarıdır. Bu çalışmada Konrad von Würzburgun Pantaleon, Alexius ve Silvester eserleri karakterlerin adanmışlık ve feragatları bağlamında incelencektir. Eserler ve ana karakterler incelenirken, toplumsal yapı ve dinin edebiyatı nasıl etkilediği yorumlanarak; yazarın eserlerde okuyucu ve dinleyicilere iletmeyi amaçladığı öğretiler üzerinde durulacaktır.
