Burkart from Hohenfels
Burk (h) art von Hohenfels was a minstrel . Little is known about his living conditions.
Life
The Lords of Hohenfels were presumably ministerials to the Bishop of Constance and sat at Hohenfels Castle near Sipplingen on Lake Überlingen. The memory of the poet has been particularly cherished here since the 19th century.
Burkart is documented - if it is the same person - between 1212 and 1242 . In 1216 he appeared at Friedrich II. In Ulm, from 1222 several times at the court of King Heinrich VII.
Eighteen Minnelieder by Hohenfels have come down to us exclusively in the Great Heidelberger Liederhandschrift ( Codex Manesse ) (sheets 110 to 113). He was the first to use the sophisticated floral style. His "virtuoso elegance of the metric-rhythmic" connects him with Gottfried von Neifen (V. Mertens).
Hugo von Hofmannsthal adopted song I in his Jedermann .
