Shtriker ( German Der Stricker ) is the pseudonym of the Middle High German poet, about whom it is known only that he lived in Austria around 1240, and was probably from Saxony. His pseudonym can be translated as “knitter”, from which it is concluded that he was most likely a commoner, but in his works he demonstrates knowledge of German literature of his time and theology. It is considered one of the main representatives of the genres of didactic poetry and exempla , and in his works issues are raised not only of religion and morality, but also of courtesy love with the glorification of female beauty.
