Die Nibelungendichterin

What if it wasn't Siegfried the Dragon Slayer, the actual womaniser, but Kriemhild, the Burgundian king's daughter and later wife of the Hun King Etzels, the heroine of the Nibelungenlied ? Who may have brought down to parchment the lost original text on which the most famous three manuscripts, all of which were created around the year 1200, are based? Was it not a minstrel, knight or cleric, but a nun from Passau?

Between truth and fiction, Conny Burian's autobiographically told novel traces the life lines of two women, Kriemhild and Hilde, and lets both of them, protagonist and author of the greatest German heroic epic, appear in a new light.
