Eilhart von Oberge

Author of Tristrant in the twelfth century, a version of the story of Tristan and Iseult.

In line 9446 of the Middle High German Tristrant, the author names himself as "von Hobergin her Eylhart". Despite scholarly efforts on the one hand to identify the author with a certain Eilhart attested in documents as hailing from Oberg near Braunschweig, and on the other hand to seek his home in the middle Rhine area, his identity and origins remain uncertain.
