Abstract	Medieval Literature not only presents material wealth and poverty but also outstanding characters of kings (Arthur) and knights (Parzival), ladies (Konwiramur, Mechthild von Magdeburg) or girls (in Hartmann's poor Heinrich), good ('froide - hoher muot') and bad feeling (trûren) in mind or poor characters (Helmbrecht). Those appear in different genres of literature, in lyrics, epic literature as well as in didactic literature.
