Kriemhild or Krimhild is one of the main characters of the Middle High German Nibelungenlied.
Kriemhild lives at the court of Worms as a Burgundian king's daughter together with her three brothers Gunther, Gernot and Giselher. She is described as very beautiful and noble. She tells her mother Ute that she will never form a bond with a man, as this has brought suffering to many women. But then Siegfried appears at court and later she marries the heir to the throne in Xanten. Both then go to Xanten, where she gives birth to her son Gunther.

At Brünhild's (wife of brother Gunther's) urging, Gunther invites her and Siegfried to Worms. After a quarrel between Kriemhild and Brünhild, Gunther's vassal Hagen decides to murder Siegfried. After the murder, Kriemhild had the "Nibelungenhort" brought to Worms, which she was entitled to after Siegfried's death. Hagen let the hoard sink into the Rhine. She sinks into insatiable suffering and swears bitter revenge.
