Ulrich von Gutenburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulrich von Gutenburg ( Codex Manesse , 14th century)

Ulrich von Gutenburg (sometimes also: von Gutenberg) was a minstrel . He probably worked at the beginning of the 13th century, and was lamented by Heinrich von dem Türlin in the crown around 1220 as deceased.

His narrow work - a corpse and a song - has only survived in the Manessische Liederhandschrift ( Codex Manesse ) (sheets 73r – 75r). Ulrich created the first traditional Minneleich in German.

"Signum of the oeuvre is a certain joy in experimentation, the interweaving with the work of Friedrich von Hausen and his 'school' as well as a decisive turn to Romanesque patterns and forms" .

ID

While older research assigned him to an Upper Alsatian family that was based in Gutenburg Castle near Rappoltsweiler , more recently a baronial family near Weißenburg / Bergzabern is being considered.

A Ulrich of Gutenburg uncertificated 1186 in a document Heinrich VI. (HRR) , but it is not certain whether the poet, who in his song apparently referred to a song by Blondel , who appeared around 1200 , can be equated with this nobleman.

A postage stamp from the Principality of Liechtenstein from 1961 shows Ulrich von Gutenburg (armed for falconry), inscribed with her Ulrich von Gutenberg . On a philately page on the Internet you can read that Ulrich von Gutenberg was a contemporary of Heinrich von Frauenberg around 1300 and was a co-owner of Gutenberg Castle near Balzers . Since there is evidence that Ulrich von Gutenburg lived about a century earlier, this equation, about which the author's lexicon knows nothing, is obviously absurd. Abbot Caspar von St. Blasien speaks out in his chronicle from the 16th century against a descent from this house. He justifies his presentation with the fact that the coats of arms of the two families of Gutenburg are completely different. Mone argues similarly, who doubts the origin of the Gutenburg family who had their ancestral castle on the Schlucht. Ulrich only assigned von der Hagen to this gender.
