Lesson plan
Minnerede
in the Codex pal. German 313. 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, but also extensive texts (so-called large forms) such as 'Die Minneburg', 'Die Minnelehre' by , 'The Hunt' by Hadamar von Laber and 'Mörin' by 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.
