May I provide a German pronounciation guide? Margaretha is pronounced Mar-ga-REH-ta. No th sound, just t sound. The a and e as in Polish, I assume. Von is fon or fonn. Waldeck was fine. You also pronounced Haube correctly at your first try. It's really pronounced like written. Not Hoibe. ^ ^ So, you finally settled on the correct pronounciation. :)

Hey, hi, German here ✌🏽 the Goldhaube is actually a very specific cap from lower Bavaria. It’s heavily decorated with gold beads and thread and the women would put hundreds of hours into the making of their individual Goldhaube. They would then be worn at parades and it was a special honour to be part of such a group. My Grandma used to be a Goldhaubenfrau and I always found it fascinating to see the handiwork that goes into a cap. Lots of Love Anni

[@chemina8541]

If it's the same as in my country, the more elaborate, the higher the status of the wearer. Plainer Goldhauben with black as the main color are worn by the younger women here. To me, (not a Goldhaubenfrau ^^), it looks like they add with time until they are mostly fully golden and the stiff upper part (that looks like the tailfeathers of a dove kinda) gets bigger too. same with the chockers around their necks and the decorations on their hems and girdles. When I was younger there was a big conflict among the women in my town because someone tried to modernize the designs as a fashion choice and not as a member of the group and they reacted very aggressively to that. The group is exclusive and not very tolerant of anything not fitting their norms here.

Important note: The Grimm brothers were not the creators of the stories, they actually traveled around Germany and collected old folk tales. They did this as part of their research on language changes. They were not looking for inspiration or trying to write fairytales, they were simply collecting data by interviewing a lot of people from different spans of life. All of the stories had been told for generations, the Grimm brothers happened to be the ones to write them down.

Please remember that our country is NOT young or new. I am Native (Choctaw) and my people have inhabited this country for thousands of years. This country had rich civilization for millennia before that 1885 house was built by colonizers.

[@doggyspeak]

@@QueenieHugo87 plot twist: the only reason the oldest house is from 1885 is bc that's the date colonizers came there and destroyed all the older dwellings and buildings. But to be fair to OP, colonization shaped the midwest A TON, even most native settlements here in the midwest are a result of dislocation from centuries of land disputes and penultimately the indian removal act (case in point, Choctaw populations mainly settled in what's modern-day Mississippi/Alabama until the 1800s). Being perfectly aware of the fact that people have lived here for thousands of years, there still isn't much physical history to show of it, and what's left is hard to find and disconnected to the people of today because of all the genocide and arbitrary landgrabbing and homesteading that pushed and pulled people around all over the place. Plus, alongside that colonizing our tribes changed a lot too, basically adopting most european building methods or adapting them to suit their means (especially the "five civilized tribes" that includes Choctaw who were pretty early adopters) so most of what survives from our cultures is still the european influence and dates to the same time as well. Sorry for the long post, I just mean that it really is difficult to find pre-19th century ANYTHING in the midwest that isn't A) an archeological dig site B) literally native-owned, sacred, and/or somewhere you aren't allowed to film or C) converted into a museum.

As a German Literature student, this is my time to shine: The Grimms had women come and tell them stories they came to know throughout their lives. Therefore, the fairytales are not "fictional" in the sense that they were invented by the authors like other fairytales but are based on orally passed on stories. Besides that, the fairytales are written and published in the German Romantic period and medieval stuff was a very popular thing back then. Most of the fairytales are believed to be set during the Middle Ages, so before the 16th and 17th century, actually. I don't know if this is the case for Snow White, though. Most sources are pretty divided about the fairytales origins anyways. Another thing is that Lucas Cranach was (and still is) a pretty big celebrity in my hometown and I have been bombarded with his work and achievements my whole life. I am experiencing a mix between excitement and childhood trauma right now

[@oceane.r]

I was about to say the same. I am always surprised that not many people know that the Grimms brothers weren't the authors of the fairytales in there book and that they actually went on a "quest" across Germany to write down these stories.

[@worthlessaudios]

Thank you it was so interesting to read ! 💜

[@WildflowerHistory]

Quite right, and from a historical point of view, there is evidence that Snow White in the first written evidence was described with "yellow hair", as far as Eckhart Sanders' Research showed, which fit with Margaretha/Margarthe who was shown as blonde. But it is also a part of touristic marketing for the region of Waldeck as the region of being the background of the Snow White narrative, but there are several else who claim that. Maybe you are familiar with the "Hessenland ist Märchenland" concept, were they tried to tie some local folklore elements in fairy tales to some specific regions in Hessen.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

@@WildflowerHistory Saarland also has that idea, with a few castles as fairy tale castles. One has Rapunzel's braid hanging out of a window over the moat, and the Sababurg is overgrown at some points with ivy so they went with Sleeping Beauty. :) The Grimm brothers were also really into linguistics and dialects which was part of their folk tale research as well. :)

[@Schokiliebhaber]

Tbh Jacob Grimm is our fucking hero man. Dude wrote the first German dictionary and became the founding father of modern linguistics like it was nothing. But on a serious note and because I got really angry at one of my professors today: German middle ages and the novels that came out of them are marvellous creations of literature and everybody who tells me otherwise has either no taste at all or doesn’t get the books. They are about knights fighting dragons, yes, but they are also about knightlyhood and the moral aspects of it and create such an interesting and intriguing concept of life as an ideal part of society. They are about friendship and fairness and love. And yes, most of the time they are Crazy and ridiculous but I love them with all of my heart and they taught me more about respectful behaviour than Goethe or Schiller together.
