Once Upon a Time in Marburg: The Brothers Grimm and the Birth of a Legend Ein Stadtspaziergang auf Englisch

Let's step into the cobbled streets of Marburg’s medieval old town  following in the footsteps of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Discover how student life, Romantic philosophy, and the city’s fairy-tale atmosphere shaped their work. Learn why their collections were more than just bedtime stories, but part of a search for identity, culture, and meaning. And let us cast a glance beyond the magic: we will also explore the critical side of the Grimm legacy — the politics of storytelling, forgotten voices, and how fairy tales have been retold to reflect modern values.
