Ougenweide was a German folk rock band. They are notable for being pioneers of the medieval folk rock subgenre. The name comes from the Middle High German ougenweide (Augenweide – “feast for the eyes”). The predecessor band was formed in 1969; it was composed of Frank Wulff, Michael Steinbeck, Jürgen Isenbart and Brigitte Blunck. Ougenweide was founded in spring 1970 in Hamburg as a folk rock band. The band is named after a song by Neidhart von Reuental, the first joint composition by Ougenweide. From the beginning, the band wanted to set old poems and songs to music, though they never restricted themselves exclusively to the Medieval period. The group was influenced by the Hamburg rock scene of the 1960s. The second Ougenweide album, All die weil ich mag from 1974, used texts from the Merseburg Incantations. This recording of the Merseburger Zaubersprüche was later covered by many bands, including Die Irrlichter, who received an award at the 5th Falkensteiner Minnesangturnier in 2010 — an event where Ougenweide served as patrons and jury — and by the medieval metal group In Extremo.
