Description
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm lived and worked in Kassel for over 30 years. Join us as we explore the places that shaped the life and work of these important brothers.
For all of us, the words 'Once upon a time...' bring back memories of our own childhood.memories of our own childhood Many fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm collection start with these words, which were read and told to us or that we read and told ourselves. The Brothers Grimm became world-famous thanks to their 'Children's and Household Tales'. The handwritten copies in Kassel have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. Reducing their work to just collecting fairy tales wouldn't do them justice, since they also devoted themselves to the German language and are considered the founders of German studies. Kassel and the North Hesse region were home to the Brothers Grimm for over 30 years. Join us on a walk through Kassel, following the footsteps of the Brothers Grimm, their family, and friends.
