Heinrich Frauenlob
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meister Heinrich Frauenlob of Meißen, was a Middle High German poet. He was born between 1250 and 1260 and died in 1318. He had great musical talents, and he also held court positions in Prague. The name Frauenlob may mean "praise of women" or "praise of Our Lady (Mary)".[1]
Heinrich is sometimes also called Heinrich von Meissen, but this is ambiguous and should be avoided.
[edit] Works
Frauenlob wrote Frauenleich at around 1290. It was a song about woman of the Apocalypse, and the final song of songs.
