N2  - "Der Ring" by Heinrich Wittenweiler is a satirical didactic poem written around 1408-1410. This work combines serious teachings about courtly behavior, marriage, household management, and virtue with comic scenes of foolish peasants. It follows Bertschi, a young man whose passion for the ugly Mätzli triggers a series of grotesque and slapstick situations. His clumsy courtship attempts—including disastrous serenades, barn mishaps, and rooftop accidents—spiral into tragic consequences that lead to war and his village's destruction.
