Feuerschwanz (German for "fire tail") is a German medieval metal band founded in 2004 in Erlangen.
== History == === 2003–2013: Formation and early years === thumb|upright=1.2|Feuerschwanz in 2012 Peter Henrici, a bassist for the band Merlons Lichter at the time, originally had the idea to create a comedic medieval rock band in 2000, as he felt that the genre of medieval folk rock was taking itself too seriously. He, along with Tobias Heindl, the violinist of Fiddler's Green, and Andre Linke, a fellow bassist, came together to form Feuerschwanz. Soon after, Bastian Brenner and Jan Schindler joined on the flutes and drums respectively, with Schindler later switching to the bass.
