Life

Grimm was on November 1, 1807 illegitimate child of from Leislau originating stewardess born Louise Eberhardt in Jena. His father was a Bavarian law student named Joh. H. Grimm.

Grimm attended the community school in Jena from the age of eight. From the end of 1820 he received free lessons in Latin and Greek from students of the homiletic and philological seminar , which enabled him to attend the grammar school in Weimar from 1822 .

From 1827 Grimm studied theology and philology in Jena. Since he was almost penniless because of his origins, Grimm was awarded the so-called "Starkische Stipendium" from 1829 on the basis of a certificate of poverty issued in 1827 , which he received until 1831. Soon after, he passed the theological state examination . In 1832 he received first prize at the academic award ceremony and in the same year earned a doctorate in philosophy and a theological bachelor's degree .

Grimm began his academic career in 1833 as a private lecturer at the theological faculty in Jena. He later held a full professorship there. The theological faculty of the University of Giessen awarded him a licentiate in 1836 and an honorary doctorate in 1838 .

He was married to nanny Dorothea Friederike (born June 4, 1824 in Coburg, † January 19, 1900 in Jena), a daughter of Wilhelm August Friedrich Genßler , general superintendent in Coburg

Grimm died on February 22, 1891.
