The Brothers Grimm

Ағайынды Гриммдер

The Brothers Grimm (German: Brüder Grimm or Die Gebrüder Grimm; Jakob, January 4, 1785 – September 20, 1863, and Wilhelm, February 24, 1786 – December 16, 1859) were German folklorists and linguists. They published the well-known "Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales" collection several times and collected folklore. Along with Karl Lachmann and Georg Friedrich Benecke, they are considered the founding fathers of German philology and German studies. At the end of their lives, they worked on the first German dictionary: Wilhelm, who completed the work on the letter D, passed away in December 1859; Jakob died four years later, having finished the letters A, B, C, and E. He passed away at his desk while working on the German word "Frucht" (fruit). The brothers Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm were born in Hanau and lived in Kassel for a long time.
