The violin is supposedly derived from the character Volker von Alzey in the Nibelungenlied. <br/> The Nibelungenlied is a medieval German epic poem of unknown authorship, written in Middle High German in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. The poem is a composite of Norse and Teutonic mythology and the early history of the kingdom of Burgundy. Several other versions exist of the material contained in the Nibelungenlied (Song of the Nibelungs). The principal one is the Icelandic prose epic Volsunga Saga (Saga of the Volsungs), which emphasises the mythological and primitive elements of the material common to both; the Nibelungenlied stresses the historical material. Parts of these two versions were used by the German composer Richard Wagner for his operatic tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen. | The violin is supposedly derived from the character Volker von Alzey in the Nibelungenlied. <br/> The Nibelungenlied is a medieval German epic poem of unknown authorship, written in Middle High German in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century.
