German works are typically afforded second class status in writing, and this matches the position of the language against Latin. It is important to remain aware of the influence of the Church and of the determining dominance of Latin as a literary language when assessing the few German survivals at the very start of German literature.

Presumably a High German text was intended to be transmitted to speakers of Low German, and the work, copied onto the front and back blank pages of a theological manuscript — space that was free in both senses of the word — has also been given a thin veneer of Christianity. At one point an unmetrical and hence noticeable waltant got (almighty God) appears, but it is also thematically unconvincing.

The Hildebrandlied is old and the material is undoubtedly Germanic, and the story as such has nothing at all to do with the Christian church. Of its transmission we can only say that someone wanted to try to preserve it;9 but the attempt was not entirely successful. The Gospel poem written by Otfrid, a monk, librarian, and teacher at the monastery of Weissenburg, on the other hand, was very deliberately recorded.
