格林兄弟 / Brothers Grimm

格林兄弟 appear in 111. 花衣魔笛手：快来，和历史学家一起推理童话真相 as a transmission point for [[PiedPiperOfHamelin|花衣魔笛手]]. The episode emphasizes that they placed the story in a German legend collection rather than a fairy-tale collection, which matters because the story claims a specific place, date, number of children, route, memorial markers, and source trail.

In the source, the Brothers Grimm are less an author page than a genre boundary. Their version helps the hosts move from Adult Fairy-Tale Reading into Legend As Social History: a story can become fairy-tale-like in popular memory while still carrying a historical-evidence problem.
