Jakob Püterich von Reichertshausen (other spellings of the surname: Pueterich, Pütrich ; * 1400 ; † February 21, 1469 ) was a German poet, book collector and ducal-Bavarian councilor and official.

Jacob III Püterich, son of Jacob II, came from the Munich patrician family of the Pütrichs , who had already been raised to the landed gentry in the 14th century (based in Reichertshausen ). He worked in various functions for the dukes of Bavaria-Munich and was one of the most familiar Councilors Duke Albrecht III. , whom he also served as an accomplished diplomat .

Its significance for German literary history lies in its only surviving literary work, the 1462 letter of honor, rhymed in Titurel stanzas, to the literary interested Mechthild von der Pfalz . He pays homage to the addressee, gives her a directory of the Bavarian tournament nobility and reports in detail on his own large library of 164 volumes and on Mechthild's books.

Since Jakob Püterich disregarded the works of modern authors and instead praised the Middle High German Classics and even undertook a kind of pilgrimage to the grave of Wolfram von Eschenbach, who he admired, in Wolframs-Eschenbach , he is traditionally classified as a literary phenomenon known as the Knight Renaissance (also: Knight Romanticism ) second half of the 15th century too. While in the past one had the nostalgic, backward-looking and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to revive medieval chivalry in mind, one now sees more the modern aspects, which, as with early humanist positions of the time, the role of discursive exchange and the reflection of historical and poetic distance thematize and propagate. Püterich's position in this context has yet to be specified.

The only tradition of the letter of honor was a manuscript from around 1600 ( Cgm 9220 ) acquired in 1997 for the Bavarian State Library , until in 2015 Klaus Graf found the presumed submission of this manuscript in the so-called Trenbach Chronicle (1590) of the Lower Austrian State Archives.
