Herman Grimm

Herman Friedrich Grimm ( born January 6, 1828 in Kassel, † June 16, 1901 in Berlin) was a German art historian and publicist. The son of Wilhelm Grimm was one of the most famous writers of the 19th century.

Life

Herman Grimm was the son of Wilhelm Grimm and his wife Dorothea. He was a student of the historian Leopold von Ranke. Herman Grimm lived since 1841 in Berlin. He was a personal friend of Goethe girlfriend Bettina von Arnim, whose daughter he married Gisela 1859. After his 1847 commenced legal and philological studies, he finally received his doctorate in 1868 in Leipzig and then habilitated in 1870 in Berlin. In 1873 he was appointed Professor of Contemporary Art History at the Friedrich- Wilhelms- University of Berlin. In addition, he was one of the founders of the Goethe Society and was one of the editors of the Weimar edition of Goethe's works. In 1884 he was awarded the title "Secret Government " award.

Grimm lived as a Buddhist. He was on the old St. Matthew's Cemetery in Berlin -Schöneberg buried ( grave of honor today the city of Berlin ).

Grimm's works are written in a lively style today. They lead the reader not only from their attitude towards these tracks out, but enable him also to get used to a free and less traditionally bound dealing with the language. This is particularly striking in the Goethe- lectures. Grimm not only reports, but has the intention really to stimulate thinking.
