Der Stricker

13th-century Middle High German poet · Writers · Died 1250

Der Stricker is the pseudonym of a 13th-century Middle High German itinerant poet whose real name has been lost to history. His name, which means "The Knitter," may indicate he was a commoner; he was likely from Franconia but later worked in Austria.

Der Stricker is read about 10 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 23 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
