| Summary |
"Der Sachsenspiegel: Eine Geschichte aus der Hohenstaufenzeit" by Julius Wolff is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in the period of the Hohenstaufen dynasty and revolves around the character Eike von Repgow, who is on a quest to create a unified legal code for the Saxon people. The story explores themes of friendship, law, and social justice amid a rich historical backdrop. At the start of the novel, the scene is established at a remote inn located at a crossroads near a forest. Here, Eike von Repgow finds solace after a long journey. He is soon joined by Graf Hoyer von Falkenstein, a familiar acquaintance, and their conversation reveals Eike’s ambitious plan to draft a comprehensive legal code for Saxon law. This initial encounter sets the foundation for Eike's creative aspirations, intertwined with personal loss, particularly the memory of his deceased friend Hinrik Warendorp, further promising deeper explorations of friendship and legal endeavors throughout the narrative.
