Gebrüder-Grimm-Haus, Literary museum in Steinau an der Straße, Germany.
The Brüder Grimm-Haus is a literary museum in a 16th-century timber-framed building with decorative consoles above the entrance and a prominent staircase tower. The exhibition displays objects from the family's life and literary work spread across multiple rooms with different focuses.
The family lived in this house from 1791 to 1796 while their father Philipp Wilhelm Grimm worked as a district administrator. The building was later converted into a museum to commemorate the brothers and their collecting activities.
The rooms tell the story of the family and their importance to German language and literature. Visitors see how the brothers gathered and recorded their fairy tales, which still move people around the world today.
The museum is open daily and offers guided tours in various languages, with groups able to make special arrangements. It helps to visit the website beforehand to find information about opening hours and current exhibitions.
Ludwig Emil Grimm, the youngest brother, was a talented artist whose detailed drawings and paintings captured scenes from family life. His works give visitors a visual sense of how the family actually lived and worked.
