Hanau
Hanau is the birthplace of the Grimm Brothers, the great storytellers of North-European tradition. Although scholars of Germanic language and culture, their famous collection of popular novels, to which their worldwide fame is still linked, is an important cultural baggage of the German political identity of the eighteenth century.
