Abstract
Reimund Kvideland was born on 28 January 1935 in Højland in Western Norway. He died unexpectedly on 6 June 2006 from a heart attack when he was waiting for a bus in Paradis, the suburb of Bergen where he lived. Few Scandinavian folklorists have developed such an international network as Reimund Kvideland. He had especially good contacts with German scholars. His university studies took him not only to Oslo and Copenhagen but also to Frankfurt am Main, and his mother in law was German. As a folklorist he was strongly influenced by scholars who had published in German, such as Ernst Klusen, Otto Brinkmann, Gottfried Henßen and Linda Dégh.
