"Minna von Barnhelm" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a comedy completed in 1767. Set against the backdrop of the Seven Years' War, the play follows a separated engaged couple reunited in Berlin. The officer, disgraced and impoverished, refuses to marry his beloved, rejecting all her support.

Prussian king intervenes, the tangled web must unravel before her guardian arrives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
