Summary "Walter von der Vogelweide: Ein altdeutscher Dichter" by Ludwig Uhland is a literary biography written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the life and character of the influential medieval German poet Walther von der Vogelweide, exploring his role in the development of German lyric poetry during the time of the Holy Roman Empire.

The opening of the book sets the stage by presenting Walther as a pivotal figure in German poetry, renowned for capturing the essence of his era through his songs. Uhland emphasizes the need to understand both the collective and individual aspects of German poetry, arguing for the importance of examining not only the general trends but also the unique experiences and inclinations of individual poets.
