Whether it's blackberry, rosehip, or nightingale - their names have medieval roots. However, the Middle High German language has left its mark not only in the animal and plant world but also in numerous proper names - from Loreley to SV Werder Bremen! The Germanist Michael Schwarzbach-Dobson presents about 80 words from medieval literature that may have disappeared today but still seem familiar to us. Astonishing connections emerge, such as between queen and gynecology or between the term for a beating and traditional costume fashion. This entertaining journey into language history includes numerous examples from famous medieval works like the Arthurian romances, the Nibelungenlied, the Minnelieder, and many other classics.
