GrimmsMärchenReich, Literary and children's museum in Schloss Philippsruhe, Hanau, Germany
GrimmsMärchenReich is a museum in Schloss Philippsruhe dedicated to fairy tales and the lives of the Grimm brothers. Seven themed sections with interactive displays invite visitors to explore this world of stories.
The Grimm brothers were born in Hanau and collected stories that shaped a new way of telling tales. The museum opened in 2019 in a wing of the palace and now displays objects from their personal lives.
Local schoolchildren helped shape the exhibits, connecting the city's story with fairy tales known around the world. You can see how these stories still matter in people's daily lives today.
The museum sits beside the river Main and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Wheelchair access is limited in some areas, so it helps to check ahead about which sections are fully accessible.
The museum has a whisper hallway and transformation room where visitors experience fairy tales through interactive play. These special spaces make the stories tangible and engaging for children.
