  Thiðrekssaga
It should be noted that here, in the Thidrekssaga, the name Amelungs is referred to Erminrek and his family, who would later become enemies of Thidrek (Dietrich) of Bern.
Actually a whole chapter was devoted to Velent in the Thidrekssaga, which is very similar to the Icelandic poem Volundarkvida (Poetic Edda) – the "Lay of Volund".
There is great deal of similarities of this section of the Thidrekssaga with the Nibelungenlied, concerning the Fall of the Nibelungs.

  Dietrich of Bern - LoveToKnow Watches   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The cycle of songs connected with his name in South Germany is partially preserved in the Heldenbuch in Dietrich's Flucht, the Rabenschlacht and Alpharts Tod; but it was reserved for an Icelandic author, writing in Norway in the 13th century, to compile, with many romantic additions, a consecutive account of Dietrich.
In this Norse prose redaction, known as the Vilkina Saga, or more correctly the Thidrekssaga, is incorporated much extraneous matter from the Nibelungen and Wayland legends, in fact practically the whole of south German heroic tradition.
There are traces of a form of the Dietrich legend in which he was represented as starting out from Byzantium, in accordance with historical tradition, for his conquest of Italy.

The original is in Old Norse, believed to have been written down by a Norwegian, but it purports to be based on stories told to the writer by Germans.

 Ortnit - LoveToKnow Watches
ORTNIT, or Otnit, German hero of romance, was originally Hertnit or Hartnit, the elder of two brothers known as the Hartungs, who correspond in German mythology to the Dioscuri.
His seat was at Holmgard (Novgorod), according to the Thidrekssaga (chapter 45), and he was related to the Russian saga heroes.
Later on his city of Holmgard became Garda, and in ordinary German legend he ruled in Lombardy.

 Later Forms of the Saga
The Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus of the latter part of the twelfth century has a reference to the story of Kriemhild's treachery toward her brothers.
About the year 1250 an extensive prose narrative, known as the Thidrekssaga, was written by a Norwegian from oral accounts given him by men from Bremen and Munster.
This narrative is interesting as showing the form the saga had taken by that date on Low German territory, and holds an important place in the history of the development of the saga.

 Northvegr - The Heroic Saga-Cycle of Dietrich of Bern   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As early as the sixth century, that in which Theoderic's death took place, a story was current to the effect that after his death Theoderic's body was carried off by the devil and cast into the crater of a volcano.
Similar to this is the story in the Thidrekssaga which tells how one day, as he was bathing, Dietrich saw a stag not far away and was immediately filled with a great desire to pursue it.
This task was, indeed, attempted by the original author of the Thidrekssaga, but his work was disfigured by a later redactor, a mere compiler who introduced so much extraneous matter that the Thidrekssaga as we know it, is rather a compendium of Germanic hero saga than a Dietrich epic.

 Regin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigurd, who had discovered from the birds, that Regin was planning on killing him to get the gold, killed his stepfather and took the gold.
The Thidrekssaga relates a slightly different tale, with Regin as the dragon and Mimir as his brother and foster father to Sigurd.

In 1981, Ritter published his book Die Nibelungen zogen nordwaerts, in which he concluded that the 13th-century Thidrekssaga has retained many place-names which can be traced to the 5th-century Rhineland, thus making Dietrich, the Nibelungen and Siegfried Rhinelandic princes of the era of the Great Migrations.
My main reason for thinking the Thidrekssaga an accurate fifth century source has nothing at all to do with topography or exact identifications.
Whoever invented the story, it is clear that the Thidrekssaga knew what it was talking about.
