Exercise: Basic course in German Medieval Studies

Description

This course is an accompanying exercise to the basic course in German Medieval Studies held in the summer semester 2021. In addition to the plenary, this regularly held exercise (Basic Course in Medieval Studies Part 2) generally offers an introduction to working with Middle High German texts of various genres: Students gain insight into Middle High German epic poetry, the courtly novel, minnesong, medical texts and legal texts.

The exercise took place weekly in the summer semester 2021 synchronously in online format. An important focus of the exercise was the foundation of linguistic understanding through the study of Middle High German. The exercise was flanked by the new online learning programme neli developed in Bochum.

This course is one of the winning projects of the 27th round of the contest 5x5000.
