Ulrich von Liechtenstein is the composer and author of numerous minne songs, writings on the theory of courtly love and a fictitious autobiography (as a servant of women). He is best known for his Frauendienst [Ladies' Service]. The compendium on Ulrich von Liechtenstein documents our present-day knowledge of the life, times and work of this interesting and important medieval author, and at the same time with its innovative research chapters provides impulses for the continuation of the discourse.
