Identity
According to Meister Rumelant, he went blind in old age and was murdered before 1287, probably during the interregnum. Marner wrote Minnesang (minstrel songs) and later also gnomic poems. He also left behind five Latin poems. His poetry covered a wide range of subjects in addition to minstrelsy: life wisdom, theological and political reflections, riddles and literary feuds, including with Reinmar von Zweter. "Der Marner" is a nom-de-plume derived from Latin marinarius, that is, "the mariner", a fanciful artist's self-designation. His real name is unknown. The poems were first edited by Philipp Strauch. A more recent edition with modern German translations was made by Eva Willms.
