!!!Kürenberg, der von

Kuerenberg, der von, probably a pseudonym, together with  Dietmar von 
Aist most important and earliest representative of the so-called 
"Danube-region"  Minnesong; believed to have hailed from the Danube 
region in Bavaria or Austria (Passau, Wilhering, Melk); 15 stanzas 
written by him, which are metrically similar to the Nibelungen stanza 
and were written around 1150/1160, have been handed down in the 
Manessische Liederhandschrift manuscript. What is most striking is the 
simplicity of this specimen of early courtly poetry, especially in the 
falcon song (Falkenlied).
