Discover the Religious and Ethical Dimensions of Grimms' Fairy Tales

The conference “Grimms' Belief – More than Just Fairy Tales” is dedicated to the religious and ethical dimensions in the works of the Brothers Grimm and their fairy tales. At GRIMMWELT Kassel, a side of the famous collectors and linguists is brought into focus that points beyond well-known fairy tale motifs and their literary effects.

Experts from various disciplines will shed light on the topic through lectures and discussions. The focus is on the question of which religious ideas, moral conflicts, and ethical themes become visible in the works of the Brothers Grimm and in the fairy tales they collected. The contributions open up different perspectives on a cultural heritage that continues to be read, told, and reinterpreted today.

Religious and Ethical Perspectives on the Grimms

The event invites participants to look at fairy tales not just as entertaining stories. Their characters, trials, and decisions can also provide insights into notions of good and evil, guilt, responsibility, hope, and faith. At the same time, the focus is on the works of the Brothers Grimm themselves and the intellectual contexts in which they were created.

Lectures and discussions provide space for a deeper engagement with these themes. The various academic approaches make the conference particularly interesting for anyone interested in literature, cultural history, religion, ethics, or the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.
