Hanau

Living in Germany has given Heinrich lots of chances to visit interesting places and see new and exciting things. The other day he was reading about the Marchenstrasse or Fairy Tale Road. Germany is the birth place of two brothers whose last name was Grimm. The Brothers Grimm are famous for many popular Fairy Tales. Heinrich decided to travel up the Marchenstrasse and see what he could see.

He started in the city of Hanau.

 

This is the place where the two brothers were born. When Heinrich got to the city he noticed some banners along the river road. On the banners were pictures of the Grimm brothers.

Travelling through the city Heinrich found street signs that were named after the brothers.   He also found a Sign post that pointed him toward to the City Square.

 

Heinrich went to the Center of the town where there is the Rathaus or Town hall. In front of the town hall is a big statue dedicated to the two brothers.

 

On the ground in front of the statue is a plaque that marks the beginning of the Deutschen Marchenstrasse or German Fairy Tale Road. Heinrich knew he was on the right path.
