      <image:title>Blog - A Day in Hanau: Birthplace of the Brothers Grimm</image:title>
      <image:caption>After the play, we wandered around the town’s center a bit and eventually found ourselves in front of the statue of the town’s famous residents, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. Both were born a year apart, and were actually the second- and third-eldest surviving siblings in the family. The brothers moved throughout the German State of Hessen, relocating to Steinau, then to Kassel for school, then Marburg, where they studied medieval German literature at the university.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Day in Hanau: Birthplace of the Brothers Grimm</image:title>
      <image:caption>To cap off the day, in typical German fashion, we met at a Biergarten for a few drinks before the train ride back. On the way, we came across a small statue depicting a scene from King Thrushbeard. It turns out that the source of the story came from the Hassenpflug family, who lived in Hanau, as well as Ludowine Haxthausen, and Dortchen Wild, who later became Wilhelm Grimm’s wife. After a few too many drinks, we boarded the train back home and lived happily ever after (until the next morning).</image:caption>
