[Identification of the probable remains of the "last minnesinger" Oswald von Wolkenstein].
In 1973, a tomb was found in the basilica of the monastery of Neustift near Brixen (South Tyrol) containing a fragmentary skeleton of a male individual aging over 60 years. For testing the identity of the unearthed bones with those of the knight Oswald von Wolkenstein (1376/77-1445), buried in this basilica, anthropological/anthropometric, toxicological, pathological and X-ray examinations were done as well as a photographic manipulation with the skull and the well-known portrait of Oswald from the year 1432. All results point to identity of the examined skeleton and the mortal remains of the famous knight, named "the last minnesinger".
