Rosen für Roswitha von Gandersheim

The series Rosen für Roswitha von Gandersheim, launched in 2022 by Ostfalia-Verlag, is a single-issue comic that reimagines the life of the medieval Saxon poetess and canoness Roswitha von Gandersheim. Best known as the first female German poet, Roswitha is here placed at the center of a narrative blending historical fact with speculative fiction. The comic is primarily associated with its creators for Ostfalia-Verlag, a small press, and matters as a niche, scholarly-inflected work that highlights a significant but often overlooked female figure from the 10th century.
