I have a question: what is the readability of Old High German to modern readers of Standard German, as compared with that of Old English to Modern English (virtually nil)?

A section on Low German literature would be very useful here. I've added a subsection on mysticism. Altenmaeren ( talk) 14:26, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
I'm not convinced that having a single article on OHG and MHG literature makes sense. Given the major differences in preservation, the lack of overlap in genres, and the fact that there's not really a continuous tradition covering the two periods, I would say that separate articles are called for. And it's not as if the current article is particularly satisfactory in its content, either.-- Pfold ( talk) 17:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
OK, I've made the split - the two articles will each need a lot of work to reach an acceptable standard. I've made a start on Old High German literature.-- Pfold ( talk) 09:59, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Shouldn't this page now rather be turned into a dab?-- Hildeoc ( talk) 18:04, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
