"The Brothers Grimm were Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, German professors who were best known for publishing collections
of folk tales and fairy tales. Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm were born on January 4, 1785 and
February 24, 1786, respectively, in Hanau near Frankfurt in Hesse. They were among a family of nine children, six of
whom survived infancy. The two brothers were educated at the Friedrichs-Gymnasium in Kassel and later both read law
at the University of Marburg. They were in their early twenties when they began the linguistic and philological studies
that would culminate in both Grimm's Law and their collected editions of fairy and folk tales. Wilhelm died in 1859; his
elder brother Jacob died in 1863. They are buried in the St. Matthäus Kirchhof Cemetery in Schöneberg, Berlin”
