Visio Godeschalci is a 12th-century text relating the vision of a peasant of Harrie, now Großharrie in Holstein, named Gottschalk.
In December 1189, during the siege of Segeberg castle, Gottschalk fell ill, and during five days was presumed dead.
The author presumably was a canon of Neumünster monastery, originally from Lower Saxony, and shows literary and philosophical education.
In the section on purgatory, the author adds observations on current events, incidentally doubling as a primary source of everyday and legal affairs of the late 12th century Holy Roman Empire.
He is shown a vision of purgatory, where he recognizes several prominent deceased atoning for their sins.
