Dietrich von Bern (that's the name under which he shows up both in the Hildebrandlied and in the Nibelungenlied), commonly gets identified with Theoderich, the Goth King ruling most of Italy for a while.

Where "Bern" is not the better-known Bern of Switzerland, but Verona.

It's also fascinating that he's so sure that Hildebrand and Hadubrand fought in Mantua

Yes!
