The Minnerede is a form of late medieval rhyming speech. In contrast to the shorter Minnelieder in canzonal form, it was not sung but spoken. Most of the texts have only a few hundred verses, the Minnereden, which is assigned to around 600 texts in German studies, [1] but also extensive texts (so-called large forms) such as 'Die Minneburg', 'Die Minnelehre' by Johann von Konstanz , 'The Hunt' by Hadamar von Laber and 'Mörin' by Hermann von Sachsenheim counted. The rhyming couplet verse is predominant, but there are also some strophic minnereden. Many Minnereden are reflections on courtly love (German: Minne) held in first-person form or narratives of allegorical events and dreams, the focus of which is the unfulfilled desire of the Minnenden.
The oldest surviving testimony is Hartmann von Aue's booklet Klagebüchlein (also called complaint or lawsuit booklet, around 1200). The heyday of the Minnereden - both in terms of production and reception - was in the 14th and 15th centuries. Most of the texts have been handed down anonymously, but authors such as Meister Altswert , Heinrich der Teichner , Peter Suchenwirt and Hans Folz also appear. Only a few Minereda were printed in the 15th and 16th centuries. [2]
Different types of Minnerede are distinguished, for example the praise of the beloved type, to which the Minnereden Dis is the beauty of the frowen written in the 15th century, which above all describes a beautiful woman's body beginning with the head and ending at the feet, as well as beauty award belong. Die Graserin (English: The Grazer) is one of the coarse-obscene varieties of the genus.
