Although the Grimm's Children's and Household Tales are the most popular texts in German literature worldwide, the origins and sources of this collection of texts have not yet been fully researched.

Prof. Dr. Holger Ehrhardt will use the example of some of the fairy tale texts to show which - sometimes criminal and sometimes unorthodox - methods can be used to solve some of these puzzles and determine the origin of the original manuscripts.

Participation is free of charge.
