Calling all Germans

[lilyofthevalley]

Hi, I'm doing research for my German A-level speaking exam. My topic is the Brothers Grimm, and I'm looking at how they have influenced German culture, both past and present. I was wondering if you have attended a German school at any point, if you could answer a couple of questions, i would be eternally grateful:

1) In school at any age were you ever taught about the Brothers Grimm, in history or literature, or any other subject?
2) What were you taught about them?
3) Have you heard of Kinder und Hausmarchen?
4) Do you know about their political activities?

thankyou very much

The brothers grimm film dvd- on the extras they have a section about the real brothers grimm- the film obiously isn't real, but there is a little bit about their background.
