Abstract
Abstract The article deals with the interpretation and dating of the „Märe“ Reinhart Fuchs, with its political function being elaborated. This is accomplished by means of a hierarchical order of the animal protagonists in a society of estates. The author of Reinhart Fuchs establishes a context with the „Märe“ Der arme Heinrich and draws on the new medical developments from Salerno, but also uses his own medical knowledge. Thereby, King Vrevel is characterised as a selfish person who, as a ruler, has no Christian virtue. The „Märe“ is defined by its anti-Staufian character and can thus also be classified quite accurately in terms of time. The author can be assumed to be Heinrich von Avranches, who had the requirements and the necessary knowledge.
