Wilhelm Grimm Totally Explained

Everything about Wilhelm Grimm totally explained

Wilhelm Carl Grimm (February 24, 1786 – December 16 1859) was a German author, the younger of the Brothers Grimm.
   He was born in Hanau, Hesse-Kassel and in 1803 he started studying law at the University of Marburg, one year after his brother Jacob did the same.
   In 1825 Wilhelm married Henriette Dorothea Wild, also known as Dortchen.
   From 1837-1841 the Grimm Brothers joined five of their colleague professors at the University of Göttingen to form a group known as the Göttinger Sieben (The Göttingen Seven). They protested against Ernst August, King of Hanover, whom they accused of violating the constitution. All seven were fired by the king.
   Grimm died in Berlin at the age of 73.
   In Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm, Academy Award winner Matt Damon played a fictionalized version of Wilhelm. A slightly less fictionalized version of Wilhelm was played by Laurence Harvey in the 1962 film The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm.
