Brothers Grimm
Brother duo of German academics and folklorists
The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were German academics whose work in folklore, linguistics, and literary scholarship shaped the development of modern folkloristics and the study of the German language. Born in Hanau and raised in Steinau, they were educated in Kassel and at the University of Marburg, where they developed a lasting interest in medieval literature and German cultural history.
