Minnesang is a genre of medieval German lyric poetry and song that flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is characterized by its courtly love themes and its use of rhyme and meter. The lyrics often revolve around themes of courtly love, chivalry, and religion. The music is typically performed by a solo singer accompanied by a lute or harp. Minnesang is considered to be the earliest form of German literature and is an important part of the German cultural heritage.
