To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Simrock, the German editor of the work, believed that its earliest part was written about 1233. Some verses, believed to have been by Walther von der Vogelweide, appear in the work.
The latest part of it probably dates from 1287.
The poem contains no such contest in song as that which takes place in the second act of Wagner's drama, but it does describe a debate as to the glories of certain princes. Heinrich von Ofterdingen, Hein- rich der Schreiber, Walther von der Vogelweide, Biterolf, and Re
...imar von Zweter take part in the dis- cussion, while Wolfram von Eschenbach, the famous author of " Parzival," is the umpire. It was in reading this poem that Wagner's attention was called to Wol- fram and his works, and thus he discovered the leg- endary world of " Lohengrin " and "Parsifal." The "Wartburgkrieg" contains other matter, but that just summarised is all that Wagner found for his "Tann- hauser." He got from the mediaeval epic the atmos- phere of Hermann's Court, for this potentate was famous in his day as a patron of poetry and an encourager of the art of the knightly minnesinger.
