Both were given special dispensations for studying law at the University of Marburg. Wilhelm contracted asthma and scarlet fever, which delayed his graduation by one year although he was also head of his class. After four years of rigorous schooling, Jacob graduated head of his class in 1802. They also shared the same bed and room at school. They studied more than twelve hours a day and established similar work habits.
The two became intent on becoming the best students at Lyzeum, since they wanted to live up to their deceased father.
Shortly after attending Lyzeum, their grandfather died and they were again left to themselves to support their family in the future. In school, their grandfather wrote to them saying that because of their current situation, they needed to apply themselves industriously to secure their future welfare. After downsizing their home because of financial reasons, Henriette sent Jacob and Wilhelm to study at the prestigious high school, Lyzeum, in Kassel. At the age of 11, Jacob was compelled to be head of the household and provide for his family. This was a tragic time for the Grimms because the family lost all financial support and relied on their aunt, Henriette Zimmer, and grandfather, Johann Hermann Zimmer. However, in 1796, their father died at the age of 44 from pneumonia. They followed in their father's footsteps and started to pursue a degree in law, and German history. They were very hard-working pupils throughout their education. Jacob and Wilhelm were sent to school for a classical education once they were of age, while their father was working. Philipp was a highly regarded district magistrate in Steinau an der Straße, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Hanau.
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two of 10 children from Dorothea ( née Zimmer) and Philipp Wilhelm Grimm. It is listed by UNESCO in its Memory of the World Registry. By the seventh edition in 1857, the corpus of tales had expanded to 200 tales and 10 "Children's Legends". 1 of the first edition contained 86 stories, which were followed by 70 more tales, numbered consecutively, in the 1st edition, Vol. Grimms' Fairy Tales, originally known as the Children's and Household Tales ( German: Kinder- und Hausmärchen, pronounced ), is a German collection of fairy tales by the Grimm brothers or "Brothers Grimm", Jacob and Wilhelm, first published on 20 December 1812.
