Günther Klaus von Stuttgart

• Pronunciation guide: Goon-turr (“Klaus” rhymes with “House” “von” rhymes with “Don”) Shtoot-gart

Persona:

• Stuttgart, Germany. Have played with many time periods, but my Lady wife makes me fourteenth century clothing and I’ve always had a strong affinity for the Manesse Codex.

History in the SCA:

• Timeline:
  • Started in the SCA in 2005.
    • Began in the SCA as an archer.
    • Took up armored combat.
    • Became authorized in steel in the Midrealm because it wasn’t available in Calontir at the time.
    • Lilies War, 2007: Became a Fyrdman
    • Gulf Wars, 2012: I was made a Huscarl during the Ravine Battle, by King Ostwald II and Queen Kaye.
    • Chieftain’s, 2013: I joined the Order of the Golden Calon Swan for Japanese Calligraphy and Illumination.
    • Kris Kinder, 2015: I became Calon Lily, also for Japanese Calligraphy and Illumination. (I guess no one liked “Fried Chicken from the Store.”)
    • Chieftain’s, 2011: I received a Torse for water-bearing and marshaling.
    • Queen’s Prize, 2013: I received an Honorable Mention and a prize from the Queen for my entry of Japanese Sumi-e. The project still hangs in my living room.

From Günther’s Lady: Günther has a wonderful, baritone voice that can often be heard in the song circle and won’t be satisfied until he has everyone around him laughing.
