Life


According to his own allegations, he was "born at the Rhine and grown up in Austria". He started his work as a poet around 1227 in Austria. Living under Leopold IV of Austria and Frederick II, Duke of Austria, his writings indicate a stay in Bohemia under Venceslas I of Bohemia. Apparently, Reinmar was continuously on the move after 1241; his last confirmed writing dates to 1248.

Work


He is considered an important poet, between Walther von der Vogelweide and Frauenlob.
