Overview

Die Nibelungen is a rendition of the classic Middle High German epic poem, the Nibelungenlied. This version seeks to retell the timeless tale of heroism, love, betrayal, and revenge for a modern audience while retaining the power and grandeur of the original.

The story's influence continues to resonate in contemporary culture, securing its place as a cornerstone of Germanic literary tradition.
