Gebrüder-Grimm-Haus, Literary museum in Steinau an der Straße, Germany.

The Brüder Grimm-Haus is a museum in the former Amtshaus of Steinau an der Straße, a Renaissance building erected in 1562 with a stone base and a decorative half-timbered upper floor. Its upper storey is reached by a staircase tower on the courtyard side and rests on 21 carved wooden consoles; the console above the pointed-arch doorway is shaped as a fabulous creature's head. The museum, opened in 1998, occupies 18 rooms.

The Renaissance building dates from 1562 and served as the administrative seat (Amtshaus) of Hanau officials. Philipp Wilhelm Grimm was appointed Amtmann of Schlüchtern and Steinau in 1791 and moved here with his family. After his death in 1796 the family had to leave; the house later housed a district court until 1975. In 1998 the town and the Brüder Grimm-Gesellschaft opened the museum.

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 occupies 18 rooms of the former Amtshaus, with the ground floor devoted to the brothers' childhood on the Main and Kinzig rivers and the upper floor to the fairy tales. The building stands in a walled courtyard; the upper floor is reached by a stair tower on the courtyard side. The former Amtshofscheune opposite houses the Museum Steinau, which cooperates with the Brüder Grimm-Haus.

The museum's top floor holds a complete Grimm cycle of 39 etchings by British artist David Hockney, produced for the museum's tenth anniversary in 2008. A dedicated room also shows works by Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790–1863), the brothers' younger brother, a painter and engraver known for portraits, landscapes and caricatures.
