Estampie (after the courtly dance music Estampie of the Middle Ages) is a music group founded in 1985 by Sigrid Hausen , Michael Popp and Ernst Schwindl.

Musically, the band can be assigned to medieval music, but influences from modern music such as pop , world music or minimal music are also processed. Mostly medieval instruments without electrical amplification are used. In 1996 the album Crusaders - In Nomine Domini was released, on which Deine-Lakaien member Alexander Veljanov participated. Veljanov took over the second vote alongside Sigrid Hausen.
