The 13th century poet Bruder Wernher is considered the successor of Walther von der Vogelweide in the history of Sangspruchdichtung. For many years, the only access to Wernher's Sangsprüche was the complete edition published in 1904/5. The present edition has reedited Bruder Wernher's works in keeping with today's textual standards.
