Under der linden — Minnesingers at the court of the Babenbergs with songs by Walther von der Vogelweide.

 

In one of his famous songs, Walther von der Vogelweide (*1170) says that he learned to sing and speak in Austria. Today it seems almost certain that the most famous German‐language poet of the Middle Ages was Austrian. In any case, he celebrated his greatest successes at the court of the Babenbergs in Vienna. No wonder, as the emergent empire needed a poet that was critical as well as magniloquent. However, Walther is also unsurpassed as a musician. His melodies such as Unter der Linde auf der Heide are timeless classics, and his evocative Palästinalied is so current that it has even been found in rock music charts.
