Heinrich von München is author-persona of a 14th-century chronicle written in a series of versions in Middle High German verse.
[1] Largely a compilatory work, it copies or reworks vast chunks of text from earlier verse chroniclers, supplementing these with new material, and thus offers the longest and most comprehensive account of world history which had ever been written in the German language.
Modern scholarship questions whether such a person ever existed; if he did, he was more likely the owner of a scriptorium than an author as such.
Post-biblical history is based on Philipp's Marienleben, the Kaiserchronik, and the Sächsische Weltchronik.
[1] Compilation manuscripts also exist: although Heinrich did not use the world chronicle of Jans der Enikel, there are manuscripts in which sections of Heinrich's work are inserted into Jans' work.
