Wernher in the 14th-century Codex Manesse

Bruder Wernher (fl. 13th century) was an Austrian poet who wrote Middle High German Sprüche, social or political songs, as opposed to love songs.Шаблон:Sfn

Bruder (brother) is not a name, but a description indicating that he was a lay brother, friar or perhaps even monk.Шаблон:Sfn Given his association with the Austrian court and his evident knowledge of courtliness, it is likely that he only joined a religious organization later in life.Шаблон:Sfn

Wernher lived at the court of Dukes Leopold VI (1198–1230) and Frederick II (1230–1246).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He took part in the Sixth Crusade (1228–1229) under Emperor Frederick II.Шаблон:Sfn In one poem, he is highly critical of Pope Gregory IX for the war he instigated against Frederick II in 1228. Written shortly after his return from crusading, he urged the pope to make peace with the emperor and stop preventing Germans from going on crusade.Шаблон:Sfn Wernher later moved to Swabia.Шаблон:Sfn
