Minnesinger
(; "love song") was a tradition of German lyric- and song-writing that flourished in the Middle High German period (12th to 14th centuries). The name derives from '' minne'', the Middle High German word for love, as that was ''Minnesang'''s main subject. People who wrote and performed ''Minnesang'' were known as ''Minnesänger'' (), and a single song was called a ''Minnelied'' (). The ''Minnesänger'' are comparable to the Occitan troubadours and northern French ''trouvères,'' but they are "an original German contribution to courtly lyric."
