Abstract
After the victory of the Christians on the Field of Alischanz Willehalm mourns Rennewart, who is missing. His grief is beyond all bounds because he fears that Rennewart is damned and that with Rennewart all hope of a peaceful future is lost. Rennewart was especially predestined to initiate such a future 1) because he had Vivianz’ klârheit, without however being his ideal embodiment, 2) because he had Anfortas’ divine gift of klârheit, which however could only have born fruit after his baptism, 3) because he took on Willehalm’s belligerent attitude but was at the same time inspired by klârheit as a promise of a better future. Although Rennewart, who embodied hope for the future, fought on the side of the Christians, there remain in the end only grief and the continuation of the bloody battles.
