The greatest of the German epics is the Nibelungenlied, set down in the early 13th century by an unknown author.

I dunno about early German wriiten works, but Herman Hesse wrote some BRILLIANT German literature! My favourite is Demain (not The Omen film, it's VERY different to that!). This doesn't really answer your question, but you may enjoy his books, if you haven't already read them!
