Biography of the Brothers Grimm The Brothers Grimm were born in the family of an official in the city of Hanau. Their father was at first a lawyer in Hanau, and then dealt with legal issues with the prince of Hanau. The eldest, Jacob, was born on January 4, 1785, Wilhelm on February 24, 1786. From a very young age, the brothers were bound by close bonds of friendship that lasted all their lives. The brothers' father died in 1796, and only thanks to the help of their mother's aunt, the Grimm brothers were able to complete their studies, for which they already showed excellent abilities very early.
After graduating from the Kassel Lyceum, the brothers entered the University of Marburg, wanting time to study the German language and study law, following the example of their father. However, later the Grimm brothers began to devote more and more free foreign literature and, as a result, did this all their lives. Since 1805 to 1809 Jacob Grimm was in the service. At first he was for some time the librarian of Jerome Bonaparte in Wilhelmsgeg, and then a statistic auditor.
In 1815, he was sent along with a representative of the Electorate of Kassel to the Congress of Vienna. However, the service was a burden to him and in 1816 he left it, rejecting the professorship offered in Bonn, and took the place of a librarian in Kassel, where his brother Wilhelm had been the library secretary since 1814. Both brothers were constantly engaged in their scientific research. This period in their lives was very fruitful. In 1825 Wilhelm Grimm married; but the brothers continued to work together.
In 1830, Jacob Grimm was invited to Göttingen as a professor of German literature and senior librarian at the local university. Wilhelm entered the same place as a junior librarian, and in 1835 he was promoted to ordinary professor. But the Brethren's stay in Göttingen was short-lived. A new king came to power in 1837. The brothers protested their change to the constitution and were fired. They had to temporarily settle in Kassel, but they did not have to stay there for long.
In 1840 Friedrich-Wilhelm of Prussia came to the throne, he immediately called the brothers to Berlin. They were elected members of the Berlin Academy of Sciences and received the right to lecture at the University of Berlin. Since then, the Grimm brothers lived in Berlin permanently until their death. Wilhelm Grimm died on December 16, 1859, and four years later, on September 20, 1863, Jacob also died. During their lives, the brothers published many works, and their collection "Children's and Family Tales" published in 1812, thanks to which millions of children around the world learned their fairy tales, rightfully took its place in the treasury of world literature.
(Tailor Hans from the fairy tale "The Brave Little Tailor".) Task for the team 1 The character of the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm was an ordinary man of average height, but he himself considered himself stronger and braver than all people in the world.

Tailor. Once I brought to the king an unseen animal with one horn on its head. That's what it was called - a unicorn. And the king was so frightened that he threw off his mantle and rushed to run. That's how he scared the king and all his army. (True. Fairy tale "The Brave Little Tailor".) The last competition. The teams were given homework: to stage excerpts from the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, using only gestures. Opponents must guess what kind of fairy tale they see in front of them. The first team dramatizes an excerpt from the fairy tale "Little Men". The shoemaker leaves boots cut out of cloth on the table, hides and peeps. Little men come and sew boots from blanks. The second team shows an excerpt from the fairy tale "The Fox and the Geese". Geese cackle, gathered in a circle. The approaching fox explains that he wants to eat them. The geese cry at first, asking the fox to have mercy on them. Fox does not agree. Then the geese ask permission to sing. The fox allows - the geese sing for so long that the fox falls asleep. The geese run away. Last competition. The teams were given homework: to stage excerpts from the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, using only gestures.
