The one from Suonegge
The Sunecker , handed down as " von suonegge ", was a Styrian minstrel who lived in the 13th century. He was based in Lower Styria, in today's area of the Štajerska in Slovenia.
Life
The von Suonegge is attributed to the barons of Sanneck (Slovenian gospodje Žovneški), who can be traced back to 1129/30. The ancestral seat of this old ministerial dynasty was Sanneck / Žovnek Castle, which is located near what is now the Slovenian town of Fraßlau . Further biographical evidence of the poet is missing, but among other things a rhyme in the first song indicates that the author must have lived in the later 13th century.
identification
It is not entirely certain who the author of the Minneieder was. It is certain that the singer belonged to the von Suonegge family, which was based in Lower Styria. Possibly the poet of the traditional songs was Konrad I (documented 1220-1241), who was the father of four sons. Two mentions of the same in Ulrichs von Liechtenstein “ Frauendienst ” speak for the father as a poet . However, it could also have been one of his sons: Konrad II (documented 1255–1262), Gebhard (documented 1255–1291), Ulrich (documented 1255–1314) or Leopold (documented 1255–1279). Researchers rather suspect that one of the sons might be a poet, as linguistic and stylistic features point to a later period.
Lore
In the large Heidelberg song manuscript C, there is talk of a “von suonegge”. The work of the poet, which includes three Minnelieder, is in the manuscript after the entry about the Styrian poet Herrand von Wildon . An idealized illustration of the author, as is usual for many authors in this manuscript, is on the reverse of sheet 202. The three songs are recorded on the following sheet.
plant
These three songs follow the tradition of high love and their language is strongly based on the songs of Walther von der Vogelweide , Gottfried von Neifen , Heinrichs von Morungen and Ulrichs von Liechtenstein.

The work of von Suonegge by and large follows the tradition of high love and solidifies in the songs to formulas and motifs, for example the natural entrance is used in two of his songs. Research has therefore initially dismissed the verses of Suneck as undemanding; only on closer inspection was the “formal sophistication” of his verses recognized.
Current reception
- In Styria there are so-called literature trails to various Styrian poets of the Middle Ages. In the course of 2015, two new paths are to be created in Štajerska / Lower Styria. One of these literary figures will be von Suonegge , described in this article , the other literary path will deal with the medieval poet Brother Philipp von Seitz.
- In the spring of 2015, an anthology will be published on the above-mentioned literary paths and their locations, which will also contain newly composed poetry for that of Suonegge .
