A lion as narrator is definitely not the regular case in narratology. Instead of isolating Felicitas Hoppe's novel Iwein Lowenritter, for which this narrative construction is constitutive, in the context of literature for children or adolescents, the presend paper reads it as a poetologically and anthropologically reflected rewriting of Hartmann's von Aue Iwein, whose narrator for his part proceeds quite similarly with regard to Chrestien's Yvain. In this context, the lion being finally made invisible by these two medieval narrators functions as a marker of a kind of alterity that cannot be integrated narratively as well as mentally, namely the transgressive concept 'knight of the lion'. Being compatible neither with the concept of Arthurian chivalry of âventiure nor with Laudine's expectation of preventative safeguard, this third model cannot be adjusted to the retold Arthurian histoire in Hoppe's Iwein Löwenritter either. By the transgressive narrative of the lion, however, it gives scope for manoeuvre on the level of narrative discourse.
