This paper examines the various complex meanings of King Joram’s magic belt in Wirnt von Grafenberg’s ›Wigalois‹. The approach used in order to analyse these meanings follows recent tendencies in the field of cultural studies by assuming that (narrated) objects (›Dinge‹) are endowed with a certain individuality and independence. It appears that the object ›belt‹ serves on the one hand as marker when central changes occur within the narrative structure of the text; on the other hand, as a central ›Ding-Symbol‹ in a major part of the text, it is polyvalent. The analysis reveals that narrated objects are not only attributed with an individual meaning which is independent of their function concerning the action, but that they have a certain life of their own. In order to grasp this independent existence it is necessary to look at the action from a perspective that focuses on the objects and not vice versa.
