The article focuses on traditional expressive schemata used in the collection "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" to depict scenes of eroticism and sexuality. The analysis is based on the observation that the dominant emotion in the collection is love – which is often described in erotic terms in the songs – and that the collection is dominated by songs from the medieval period, meaning that it contains schemata which are frequently euphemistic in character and have been passed down since the period of Minnesang.
