Walther von der Vogelweide ‒ Wolfger von Erla ‒ Zeiselmauer. Vorträge gehalten am Walther-Symposion der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften vom 24. bis 27. September 2003 in Zeiselmauer (Niederösterreich)
On Wednesday, the 12th of November 1203, Wolfger, the Patriarch of Aquileia, presented Walther von der Vogelweide, a not entirely unimportant member of his retinue, with a sum of money to buy a fur coat. This is the only documented trace of the singer's life - reason enough to commemorate the gift on its 800th anniversary, and to do so in the very town where the event took place.
