Tannhäuser (pronounced TUNN-hoiz-er, or ˈtanˌhɔʏ̯zɐ) was a German poet and Minnesänger whose poetry dates from 1245 to 1265 A.D. Outside his poetry, practically nothing is known of the historical Tannhäuser. In the 1400s, legend sprung up that he discovered the underground home of the goddess Venus, then sought atonement from the Pope for having worshiped her. Richard Wagner's three-act opera Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg popularized this legend in the modern era. The film Blade Runner gave a brief Shout-Out to Tannhäuser, as Roy Batty mentions the Tannhäuser Gatenote which he pronounced as "Tann-how-zer", ignoring the umlaut—which is often omitted regardless in his climactic speech: "I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark by the Tannhäuser Gate." What the gate exactly is has not been revealed. It became a meme to science fiction geeks anyway. References to the Gate crop up repeatedly in other SF media as a Shout-Out to Blade Runner. References to the original Tannhäuser are somewhat less common. |

In Cowboy Bebop (2021), when Jet speculates about Spike's past in the episode "Sad Clown A-Go-Go", he suggests that Spike may have been in special forces and served at the Shoulder of Orion or Tannhauser's Gate. Additionally Mad Pierrot recites the famous Tears in Rain soliloquy in the previous scene with some minor alterations. | |

GunBuster has several pseudo-science and history shorts that detail the background of the series' universe. One of them concerns a physicist called Tanhauser who won the Nobel 5 years in a row for completely changing astrophysics. The "Tanhauser gate" appears to be what is currently known as a "wormhole's throat". | |

The various Heavy Gear franchise elements use what seems to be an elaboration of the Bladerunner version as their interstellar drive. Heavily traveled routes have stations that open the gate (which is cheaper) and larger ships have their own equipment for opening the gates (which is more flexible, and essential on exploration or military vessels). | |

In Soldier, Kurt Russell's character is a veteran of the Battle of Tannhauser Gate. This and several other details were meant to tie Soldier into the same 'verse as Blade Runner (the screenwriter, David Webb Peoples, was a co-writer of Blade Runner). Apparently, it is a physical barrier or a jump gate as big as a planet. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, the battleship Minerva's Wave-Motion Gun is named Tannhäuser. Given that the Archangel's Wave-Motion Gun based on the exact same technology is named Lohengrin, this is probably a reference to Wagner. Moreso since the Archangel was built and introduced long prior to the Minerva. Definitely given that several of the Minerva's other weapon systems are named for Wagnerian Operas (Tristain [Beam Cannons], Isolde [Artillery] and Parsifail [Type of Missile]) There is also an episode named "Lohengrin Gate", which focuses on an Earth Alliance base in a mountainous valley that uses an emplaced version of the Lohengrin to guard the one entrance. |

A rather more subtle instance, but Mortal Engines, in its Used Future setting, has a mountain range the divides Central and East Asia called the Tannhäuser Mountains. The only break in the mountains is an armoured wall-fortress of Batmunkh Gompa. The climactic battles of the book, and the trigger for most of the political events of the rest of the series, take place on or around this metaphorical 'gate'. | |

A Christmas issue of Deadpool ends with the villain (dressed as Santa) trying to sway Deadpool from killing him by reciting Roy Batty's final lines.
