biography

Sieglinde Hartmann studied in Cologne and Frankfurt am Main. After research and teaching stays, she did her doctorate at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main with an examination of age poetry and self-expression with Oswald von Wolkenstein . In addition to and after her doctorate, she held lectureships and professorial positions at the universities of Paris IV (Sorbonne), Mainz, Gießen, Kassel, Bamberg, Frankfurt am Main and Würzburg.

In 2003 she was appointed honorary professor for the field of "Older German Philology" at the University of Würzburg . From 2003 to 2004 Sieglinde Hartmann held a visiting professorship at the Institute for German Studies at the University of Graz (Austria).

An important element of Sieglinde Hartmann's way of working is the international network in German medieval studies . In this context, there has been a professorship for German studies at the Slavic University of Baku , Azerbaijan , since 2010 .

As a German and Medievalist , Sieglinde Hartmann focuses in particular on Oswald von Wolkenstein (approx. 1376 / 77–1445), a well-traveled knight and singer who is considered the most important poet of the German late Middle Ages. Inspired by Wolkenstein's close connections with the cultures of other European countries of his time, Sieglinde Hartmann developed a special comparative research approach that combines methods of literary studies, history, art history and the history of mentality. This approach gave rise to new ways of opening up the context of Wolkenstein's work and its effects on other cultural phenomena of the late Middle Ages. An important element in Sieglinde Hartmann's mediation work on Wolkenstein's work is also the organization and moderation of medieval concerts, often in cooperation with the Austrian concert singer Eberhard Kummer .

Sieglinde Hartmann has been a member of the organizing committee of the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds, England , responsible for comparative literature and German studies since 2002 .

Sieglinde Hartmann is a founding member and since 2007 first chairwoman of the Oswald von Wolkenstein Society and editor of the yearbook of the Oswald von Wolkenstein Society (JOWG).
