German Knight Minnesinger - Konrad Schenke von Limpurg (1249-1286). Minnesang was the tradition of lyric and song writing in Germany which flourished in the 12th century and continued into the 14th century. People who wrote and performed Minnesang are known as Minnesingers (German: Minnesänger). The name derives from the word minne, Middle High German for love which was their main subject, and an individual song was a minnelied. The Minnesänger were similar to the Provençal troubadours and northern French trouvères; they wrote love poetry in the courtly love tradition in Middle High German in the High Middle Ages. Chevalier Allemand Minnesinger - Konrad Schenke von Limpurg (1249-1286) Minnesang (« chant d'amour ») est la tradition du lyrique et de l'écriture de chanson dans les pays de langue allemande qui s'est épanouie du xiie siècle jusqu'au xive siècle. Les gens qui ont écrit et qui ont exécuté le Minnesang sont connus comme chanteurs de Minne (« Minnesänger »). Le Minnesang a beaucoup en commun avec la tradition des troubadours et les trouvères en France. Il provient probablement de cette tradition, bien qu'il ait développé ses propres formes. Comme eux, les Minnesänger chantaient principalement la « Minne » (l'amour courtois). Painted figure made of white metal, 54 mm.
