The Wartburgkrieg - The Wartburgkrieg

Japanese: ワルトブルクの歌合戦 - ワルトブルクのうたがっせん(英語表記)Der Wartburgkrieg
The Wartburgkrieg - The Wartburgkrieg
A legend about a German poet connected to the Wartburg Castle in Thuringia. It has been passed down in chronicles and hagiographies since the late Middle Ages, and is included in the Brothers Grimm's "German Legends." It is generally known through R. Wagner's music drama "Tannhäuser," but the original form of the legend comes from a medieval German polemic poem that is thought to have been written in the mid- to late 13th century by poets who worshipped Wolfram. The first part, in which Heinrich von Ofterdingen sings praises of Duke Leopold of Austria and is defeated against the poets (Wolfram, Walter von der Vogelweide, Reinmar von Zweter, Biterolf, and a secretary) who praised Landgrave Hermann von Thuringen, is called "In Praise of the Monarch." The second part, in which Wolfram solves Klingsor's religious riddles one after another and emerges victorious, is called "Riddles." The two works together are called the "Wartburg Song Contest," but this title was given for the convenience of research after the 19th century.

チューリンゲンのワルトブルク城にまつわるドイツの詩人伝説。中世後期以来,年代記,聖人伝等に語り継がれ,グリム兄弟の《ドイツ伝説集》にも収録される。R.ワーグナーの楽劇《タンホイザー》によって一般に知られるが,伝説の原型は,ウォルフラムを崇拝する亜流詩人たちによって13世紀中ごろないし後半に作られたと推定される中世ドイツ語の論争詩に由来する。チューリンゲン方伯ヘルマンHermann von Thüringenをたたえる詩人たち(ウォルフラム,ワルター・フォン・デル・フォーゲルワイデ,ラインマルReinmar von Zweter,ビテロルフBiterolf,書記)を相手に,ハインリヒ・フォン・オフターディンゲンがひとりオーストリア公レオポルトを称賛して敗れる前編を〈君主賛美〉,クリングゾルKlingsorのかける宗教上のなぞをウォルフラムが次々と解いて勝利を収める後編を〈なぞかけ〉,両者を合わせて〈ワルトブルクの歌合戦〉と呼ぶが,これは19世紀以降に研究の便宜上つけられた表題である。
