Neidhart: Der Prem#

Fresco "Der Prem" (a round dance)
© Historisches Museum der Stadt Wien

Neidhart von Reuenthal (around 1180 - around 1240) was a Minnesaenger in the post-classical tradition. The illustration is taken from frescoes painted around 1400 in a former private house in Vienna (Tuchlauben 19). These frescoes are the earliest secular wall decorations in Vienna that take up the literary models of Neidhart. The illustration shows a round dance (=Reigen). (E. Stadler)
