Burggraf von Regensburg

The Burggraf von Regensburg (died after 1185) was a Middle High German lyric poet who wrote Minnelieder.

[1] All his stanzas are preserved in two manuscripts, the 13th-century Kleine Heidelberger Liederhandschrift and the 14th-century Codex Manesse.

[3][5] He is depicted in the Codex Manesse performing a judicial function as burgrave while wearing a fur-lined cap and robe associated with princely rank.

The coat of arms depicted is that of the city of Regensburg, not that of the Burggraf personally.

[6] The Burggraf von Regensburg probably wrote around 1170, making his works the earliest known Bavarian songs.
