Hildebrandston, a stanza form which is a variant of the Nibelungenstrophe. Its distinction is that the rhyme occurs not only at the end of each long line (Langzeile), but also before the caesura (Zäsurreim); often the half-lines are written separately, so turning the four-line stanza into one of eight lines, as in the following example from Der hürnen Seyfrid,

Es saß im Niderlande
Ein Künig so wol bekandt,
Mit grosser macht und gewalte
Sigmund was er genant,
Der het bey seyner frawen
Ein sun, der hieß Seyfrid,
Des wesen werdt jr hören
Alhie in disem Lied.

The stanza takes its name from its use in the Jüngeres Hildebrandslied.
