 This "Reimchronik" is a very remarkable work of some 3,000 couplets; as a chronicle it is almost complete, if based at times on unreliable traditions.At earliest, it was written in 1270 with a supplement in 1271; it cannot have appeared later than the period between 1277 and 1287.After a legendary introduction, permeated with the idea of municipal liberty, it recounts the conflicts between the city of Cologne and the Archbishops Conrad and Engelbert II, and the feuds between the patrician party and the guilds in the years 1252-1271.
