Reopen the "The Rumpelstiltskin File" with your class! For the question rightly arises here: Who is actually the bad guy or even the bad gal in the end?
In this exhibition tour, typical role models in well-known fairy tales such as the "Brave Little Tailor" are questioned together, which have a lot to do with our sense of justice. The Brothers Grimm also dealt with the law and created a foundational work with their "Deutsche Rechtsalterthümer" (German Legal Antiquities).
Where do well-known proverbs like "den Stab brechen" (to break the bar) come from, and what secret meanings are hidden behind shoes or keys? These are just some of the questions that will be discussed with the students.
The overview tour through the special exhibition follows the traces of the studied lawyers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm through an eventful historical era. Their biographies were shaped by a variety of connections to the topic of law and justice - whether as critics of absolutist ideals, or as two of the "Göttingen Seven", or as members of the Paulskirche Assembly. In this way, history becomes close enough to touch.
The tour can be adapted to all ages in terms of content.
Upon availability you will receive a binding booking confirmation.
