This masters thesis aims at obtaining a better understanding of the character depiction in two Middle High German texts through a precise analysis of the characters and their actions as reported by the author Konrad von Wurzburg. For this study the novellas Heinrich von Kempten and Herzmaere were chosen, because they present characters within two areas of central literary concern to the Middle Ages: Heinrich von Kempten in the area of knighthood and Herzmaere in the area of courtly love. / The study consists of two main parts. The first, which deals with the novella Heinrich von Kempten lists the developments in research from 1970 until the present, describes all characters according to their depiction and actions and concludes with a summary of the results. The second main part of the thesis examines the novella Herzmaere following the same criteria of analysis as Heinrich von Kempten.
