The present study deals with translation of Medieval German literature into Lithuanian. So far there have been three translations of Medieval German texts, namely Nibelungų giesmė (1988, Vladas Nausėda), Vargšas Heinrichas (1980, Sigitas Račiūnas) and Kundruna (2002, Vladas Nausėda). However, there has been no translation of texts from the period of the early Middle Ages. Thus, the current study explores strategies of translation employed in old texts and provides an unpublished translation of Hildebrandslied (the Song of Hildebrand) into Lithuanian.
