Who may have brought the lost original text, on which the most famous three manuscripts, all of which were created around 1200, to parchment? Was it not a musician, knight or cleric, but a nun from Passau? Between truth and fiction, Conny Burian's autobiographically narrated novel traces the life lines of two women, Kriemhild and Hilde, and makes both, the protagonist and author of the greatest German heroic epic, appear in a new light.
