Starckdeutsch (literally, strong German, albeit with ck for k, as dictated by the phonetics of the variant), also called Siegfriedsch and Kauderdeutsch, is an artificial language designed by Matthias Koeppel, a German painter and poet and self-proclaimed Sprachkünstler (artist of language). It is well connected to Middle High German (Mittelhochdeutsch). A society is proposed, the Gesellschaft zur Stärkung der Verben to promote the use of strong verbs in German.

The language originated as a pub joke in 1972. Matthias Koeppel started to write poems (published as Sämtliche Gedichte, 1980) in this language, which mostly have funny contents. Besides Koeppel, New Frankfurt School authors such as Lew Bronsteingussi and many from the Frankfurt/Germany based satiric magazine Pardon like Eckhard Henscheid, Carl Lierow, Elsemarie Maletzke, and Chlodwig Poth used this language in parody poems.
