Göttingen

Göttingen

Although Göttingen is not strictly on the Fairy-Tale Road, it's closely associated with the Brothers Grimm because they served as professors and librarians at the city's university from 1830 to 1837. Many of the houses bear plaques that link them to a famous student, professor, or Nobel laureate. The university, which dominates life in the town, goes back a long time, but this is a large and modern town.
