Overview

  • Leave “Once upon a time” behind and discover the true, dark storey of the Brothers Grimm. This is not a children's fairy tale. We explore the two sides of the lives of Jacob and Wilhelm – their strict, dusty academic routine and their deep, almost obsessive immersion in the dark, magical, and often brutal folklore of the Germans. Walk in the footsteps of medieval Kassel, stand exactly where the original storytellers whispered their secrets, and find out how a war-scarred landscape gave birth to the most famous narratives of human history.

    • 5.0 km self-guided tour with 7 stations over 137 min.
    • Ideal for everyone interested in history & memory and spirituality, myths & nature
