Heinrich von Morungen
Heinrich von Morungen (died 1222) was a
Minnesinger, whose 35 surviving
Middle High German songs are dated on both literary and biographical grounds to around the period 1190–1200. Alongside
Walter von der Vogelweide and
Reinmar he is regarded as one of the most important Minnesänger: he was "the most colourful, passionate, tender and musical of the Minnesänger" and his work "marks a new and brilliantly effective stage in the development of the German lyric."
