Meistersinger, a title taken in the 15th cent. by certain professional German poets of high skill and culture, to distinguish themselves from the wandering gleeman. They were often craftsmen in their ordinary avocations. They represent a phase of the development of German verse from the minnesang (see
Minnesingers). The Meistersang and singer were governed by an elaborate set of rules and organization, which are depicted in Wagner's opera
Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, produced in 1868.
