May 3, 2018 at 20:55 comment added JohnP I am finding references that it was actually put down as an event in the Vita S. Elisabeth by Dietrich of Apolda. That leads to a Springer PDF with the following: The first case study is the life of Elisabeth of Thuringia written by Dietrich of. Apolda in Latin prose between 1289 and 1297.31 When describing the situation at the court of Landgrave Hermann I of Thuringia, Dietrich gives the following account of the song contest in book 1, chapter 1 of the Vita: In huius palacio et familia but the Springer PDF is a stub, I don't have acess.

Sep 15, 2017 at 22:36 comment added user111 "then surely nobody would be doubting that the thing happened at all." written accounts are not as reliable as people think. For example, there could be a written account, but the written account could be mixed in with stories that scholars know are fictional.
Sep 15, 2017 at 22:11 comment added Rand al'Thor @Hamlet Originally my question was phrased more like "were there any contemporary written accounts", but then I decided that would be a silly question since if there were any (that had survived), then surely nobody would be doubting that the thing happened at all.
Sep 15, 2017 at 20:40 comment added user111 "Since its veracity is disputed, I assume there weren't any contemporary written accounts of it, so presumably the story of the Sängerkrieg lasted a long time in purely oral form." These aren't the best assumptions to be making here.
