EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Hartmann von Aue, the renowned German poet of the Middle High German period, as he rides his horse through the verdant countryside. Born around 1170, Hartmann was not only a master of narrative poetry but also a participant in the Crusade of 1196-97. The intricate heraldry on his shield and the rearing bird on his helmet attest to his noble lineage and status. As a skilled horseman, Hartmann is shown here in full military regalia, his armor gleaming in the sunlight. He holds a spear in his right hand, ready for battle, while his left hand rests on the reins, guiding his steed. The tranquility of the scene belies the tumultuous times in which Hartmann lived, as the Crusades brought both danger and adventure to the medieval world. Hartmann's poetry, which includes the epic "Der arme Heinrich" and the chivalric romance "Iwein," reflects the heroic ideals of the age. His works continue to captivate readers with their vivid storytelling and exploration of the human condition. This image of Hartmann, armed and ready, serves as a reminder of the courage and creativity that defined the Middle Ages, a time of great change and innovation in European history.
