Book excerpt: The main question addressed in this comparative analysis was how we should and/or could interpret the socio-cultural and political role of late medieval Eucharistic marches in the context of Central European, especially in both residential and capital urban communities. One might conclude in the case of Vienna that concerning the form of Eucharistic processions the regulations and orders of marches always involved acts of power from external authorities imposing their political, social and cultural agenda on non-individualized groups of people.
