Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject German Studies - Older German Literature, Medieval Studies, grade: -, language: English, abstract: Around the year 1200, an unknown poet from today's Germany composed the epic 'The Nibelungenlied' or 'Song of the Nibelungs' which became the national epic at the early 19th century. The Georgian national epic of the 'Knight in the Panther Skin' was created at around the same time as the 'Nibelungenlied' by Shota Rustaveli. This coincidence was the motivation to draw a comparison between both medieval poems. The paper includes synopses of both epics, followed by the description of the origin of courtly epic and the national epics in Western Europe and Georgia. After a general comparison of the 'Knight in the Panther Skin' with Western European medieval poetry, a detailed comparison with 'The Nibelungenlied' is provided.

Rainer Schfl, geboren in der heutigen Tschechischen Republik, lebt seit 1946 in Deutschland und studierte Allgemeinen Maschinenbau an der FH N?nberg. Nach 45 Jahren Berufst舩igkeit wandte er sich neuen Interessengebieten zu. So ist er wahrscheinlich der Erste, der den langen Weg der Nibelungen von Xanten bis Ungarn nachwanderte. Aus dieser Wanderung, die in dem Buch "Nibelungenweg" geschildert ist, entwickelte sich eine innige Beziehung zum Nibelungenlied, von der mehrere Verfentlichungen zeugen. Bei seiner ausgedehnten Reiset舩igkeit lernte er die Kultur Georgiens kennen und dabei auch das georgische Nationalepos vom "Recken im Tigerfell." So blieb es nicht aus, dass er sich mit diesem Epos n臧er befasste und die ﾄhnlichkeit mit der westeurop臺schen mittelalterlichen Heldenepik erkannte.
