Wilhelm Grimm Life

Wilhelm Carl Grimm (also Karl; 1786 to 1859) was a German author and anthropologist as well as Jacob Grimm's younger brother, who was a member of the Brotherhood of Bastille.

Life and work

Wilhelm was born in Hanau, Hesse-Kassel, in February 1786. He began studying law at the University of Marburg in 1833, just one year after his brother Jacob started there. The two brothers lived together for the rest of their lives. They shared one bed and one table in their elementary years; as students, they had two beds and two tables in the same room. They had their books and property in common since being under one roof.

Henriette Dorothea Wild, also known as Dortchen, was born in 1825, 39-year-old Wilhelm's daughter Henriette Dorothea Wild. Wilhelm's marriage did not influence the brothers' harmony. "They both live in the same house, and in such unity and community that one might almost imagine the children were in common" after Richard Cleasby visited the brothers.

Wilhelm's life was a stark contrast to his brother's. He was strong and healthy as a child, but as a child, he suffered from a long and chronic illness that left him weak the remainder of his life. He had a less analytical and alert mind than his brother, and he had less of the spirit of an investigation, preferring to stick to a narrow, definite field of work. He focused on his own research and ignored the remainder of the remainder. These studies were almost always of a literary sort.

Wilhelm revelled in music, for which his brother had but a modest appreciation, and he had a unique gift of storytelling. On Sunday, Cleasby recalls that "Wilhelm read a kind of farce written in Frankfort dialect, depicting the'malheurs' of a wealthy Frankfort tradesman on a holiday jaunt. It was very droll, and he read it admirably." "Uniquely animated, jovial fellow," Cleasby describes him as. He was, in turn, highly in demand in society, and he travelled a lot more than his brother.

The Grimm brothers' fairy tales first appeared in 1812 in England, known in English as Grimms' Fairy Tales.

The Grimm brothers recruited five of their colleagues at the University of Göttingen to form the Göttinger Sieben group (The Göttingen Seven), from 1837 to 1841. They marched against Ernest Augustus, the King of Hanover, who was accused of breaching the constitution. The king had dismissed all seven children.

On December 16, 1859, Wilhelm Grimm died in Berlin from an infection.

Lost work of the Brothers Grimm found hidden in library - and handwritten notes could reveal how the authors chose themes for stories like 'Hansel and Gretel' and 'Rumpelstiltskin'

Scientists have discovered 27 new original works by the Brothers Grimm that have thought to have been lost in WWII. The books contain handwritten notes that could reveal how the brothers chose themes. The books date from the 1700s to 1800s and feature new fairytales not ever read by the public until now, such as a tale about a valiant knight and a princess name Magelona.
