Walther von Klingen in the Codex Manesse, c. 1304

Rudolf von Habsburg. Some of his poetry, which belongs to the Middle High German Minnesang tradition, has been preserved in the Codex Manesse
manuscript.

Life

Walther came from an old

Rudolf von Habsburg.[2][5] He owned houses and lived in Strassburg and in Basel.[10] He died on 1 March 1284 in Basel.[1][2][11]

Eight of Walther's songs were preserved in the

joust, bearing the Altenklingen coat of arms.[12] His poetry has been described as "not worthy of special praise"[1] and he is considered only a "minor" poet.[7] The known poems are conventional songs with themes of lamentations, courtship or praise,[13] and show influences of Gottfried von Neifen and Konrad von Würzburg.[1][14] All of them date from Walther's time in Klingnau, before 1271.[15]
