Hadamar von Laber

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hadamar von Laber (* around 1300; † around 1360) was a German didactic poet from the family of the Lords of Laaber with headquarters at Laaber Castle in what is now Upper Palatinate . In the disputes between the emperor and the papacy, he and his brother were among the partisans of Ludwig of Bavaria . Hadamar had a friendly relationship with the emperor's son, Margrave Ludwig von Brandenburg. In 1354 he appointed him to the council of the empire.

Hadamar wrote a Minneallegorie ( Hunting or The Minne hunting ) in Titurelstrophen . As a hunter, the male ego pursues a noble stag, which allegorically represents the woman, with a pack of dogs. The lead dog is its own heart, the other dogs allegorically stand for characteristics of the hunter such as "loyalty", "courage", "willpower" etc. Since the poem represents a relationship of the Hohe Minne, the game may not be shot - i.e. H. no love union takes place - rather, the hunter must continue to hunt with his old dog "persevere" in the afterlife. The text is particularly interesting because of the model of an "action allegory" in which the various aspects of the relationship with love are presented in a psychologically differentiated manner. Through the various actions of the dogs, the central concepts of the Hohe Minne are correlated with each other, limited in their validity or explained.

The text is relatively rich, but its text form in the various manuscripts is very inconsistent, less with regard to the readings of the text than with regard to the different stanzas. This is mainly due to the lack of coherence across stanzas. Because the hunt is not an “action allegory ” in the sense that an epic hunting act is developed , but rather allegorical reflections of Minne. The text was edited by Johann Andreas Schmeller (Stuttgart 1850), who is based on the Erlangen manuscript (sequence of stanzas) or the oldest Viennese manuscript (text design), and by Karl Stejskal (Vienna 1880), who has a critical edition based on today outdated stemmatic considerations. A modern edition of central text passages can be found at Steckelberg. A recording of some passages of the work performed by u. a. René Clemencic and Eberhard Kummer was published in 2006.
