Udo Wachtveitl as Narrator in “Great Myths Exposed – The Nibelungenlied”
Tune in on Sunday, March 24th, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. to experience Udo Wachtveitl in his role as a narrator in the documentary “Great Myths Exposed – The Nibelungenlied”. Volker Gallé, Nine Miedema, Jörg Oberste and Irmgard Rüsenberg can be seen in other roles. This episode of the documentary series is from 2020 and is intended for viewers aged 12 and over.
This is what episode 3 of “Great Myths Revealed” with Udo Wachtveitl is about:
The “Terra X” documentary reveals: “The Nibelungenlied” is the first German “women’s novel” of the Middle Ages – with a self-confident queen named Kriemhild as the main character. “The Nibelungenlied” tells not Siegfried’s story, but Kriemhild’s story, as the latest research shows. The film focuses on the real political and social background of the time and the role of women in the Middle Ages. “The Nibelungen Saga” has all the ingredients a good fantasy piece needs: heroic deeds, a dragon, a treasure, love, murder and intrigue. Since its creation in the High Middle Ages, the story has been retold and reinterpreted again and again. Everything seems to have been said. But that is a mistake. The “Terra It is her story – which also opens up an astonishing new perspective on the world of the Middle Ages. How closely the epic relates to Kriemhild is demonstrated by a manuscript from the 16th century, which bears the heading: “This is Kriemhild’s book.” The film shows that the dragon, the treasure and the sword fights are only peripheral to the story. Rather, the focus is on the conflict between the sexes and women’s fight for recognition in a society dominated by men. Without any false consideration, the unknown author shows a world of nobility in which women quickly become the playthings of male ambitions and plans. In the noble world of the High Middle Ages, everything revolves around honor, rank and reputation. Attributes that can be quickly defended with a weapon in hand during this time. The core of the Nibelungen saga goes back to the time of migration, but the text reflects the reality of its origin in the High Middle Ages. Without moralizing, the author wants to hold a mirror up to the noble audience and make it clear to them how problematic the code of honor of the time is, which can quickly lead to murder and manslaughter. The female protagonists of the text – alongside Kriemhild, the Valkyrie Brünhild plays an important role – are also imbued with an exaggerated sense of honor. Both women are exploited and deceived several times by the men in the story, but in their striving for self-assertion and recognition they also cause conflicts and distortions themselves. This is exemplified by Kriemhild, who transforms from victim to avenger and who, in her obsession for unconditional retribution, takes on no less guilt than the men. The film tells the key scenes of the Nibelungenlied and explores the question of what historical truths lie behind the actors and their actions. Scientists from different disciplines shed light on the background, uncover connections and thus lead into the fascinating cosmos of the courtly nobility. Historical documents such as the “Sachsenspiegel” provide connections to the legal understanding of the time. “The Nibelungenlied” was created in an era of change – from revenge to justice, from arbitrariness to law, from contempt for women to the first high esteem of women in the wake of the new ideal of love. All of this leads to the central, surprising insight that the film presents: behind the “Nibelungenlied” there is less of a gray, almost forgotten past, as a superficial reading might suggest. Rather, the high medieval epic points to the future with a critical view of the society of its time and a differentiated description of the characters.
