![]() ![]() ![]() The Brothers Grimm spent their formative years in the town of Hanau in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel. Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales ( Kinder- und Hausmärchen), began publication in 1812. The brothers are among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, popularizing stories such as " Cinderella" (" Aschenputtel "), " The Frog Prince" (" Der Froschkönig"), " Hansel and Gretel" (" Hänsel und Gretel "), " Little Red Riding Hood" (" Rotkäppchen"), " Rapunzel", " Rumpelstiltskin" (" Rumpelstilzchen"), " Sleeping Beauty" (" Dornröschen"), and " Snow White" (" Schneewittchen"). The Brothers Grimm ( die Brüder Grimm or die Gebrüder Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786–1859), were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers, and authors who together collected and published folklore.
