Grimm">Brothers Grimm</a>, appearing in two volumes in 1816 and 1818. The collection includes 579 short summaries of <a href="/wiki/German_folklore" title="German folklore">German folk tales</a> and legends (where "<a href="/wiki/Deutsch_(word)" class="mw-redirect" title="Deutsch (word)">German</a>" refers not just to <a href="/wiki/German-speaking_Europe" class="mw-redirect" title="German-speaking Europe">German-speaking Europe</a> generally but includes <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Germanic_peoples" class="mw-redirect" title="History of the Germanic peoples">early Germanic history</a> as well). </p><p><i>Deutsche Sagen</i> followed the 1812 publication of <i><a href="/wiki/Grimms%27_Fairy_Tales" title="Grimms' Fairy Tales">Kinder- und Hausmärchen</a></i> (known in English as <i>Grimms' Fairy Tales</i>). It never gained the wide popular appeal and influence of the latter, although it did influence the scholarly study of folk narrative. </p><p>The first volume contains 362 short tales, provided in short summary with a source. The source is in some cases "oral", with the region where it was collected (as in no. 1, <i>Die drei Bergleute im Kuttenberg</i> "the three miners in <a href="/wiki/Kutn%C3%A1_Hora#History" title="Kutná Hora">Kuttenberg</a>", marked "oral" from <a href="/wiki/Hessen" class="mw-redirect" title="Hessen">Hessen</a>), in other cases with a reference to the tale's previous publication (as in no. 362, <i>Die drei Alten</i> "The three old men", attributed to "Schmidt aus Lübek", im <i>Freimüthigen</i> 1809. Nr. 1.) The tales of the first volume tend to blend common concerns of the poor and working classes with <a href="/wiki/Magical_realism" title="Magical realism">magical realism</a> including the attainment of wealth and status, and includes references to <a href="/wiki/Frau_Holle" title="Frau Holle">Frau Holle</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Wild_Hunt" title="Wild Hunt">Wild Hunt</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ghost" title="Ghost">ghostly apparitions</a>, and magic, the <a href="/wiki/Devil" title="Devil">devil</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dwarf_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dwarf (mythology)">dwarves</a>, <a href="/wiki/Giant" title="Giant">giants</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kobold" title="Kobold">kobolds</a>, <a href="/wiki/Neck_(water_spirit)" class="mw-redirect" title="Neck (water spirit)">nixes</a>, etc. Less than a dozen folk tales contain the German word for witch or witchcraft (<i>hexen</i>) but there are many mentions of the devil and one tale (#120) also mentions an old woman that was a magician or sorceress (<i>ein altes Weib, das eine Zauberin war</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The second volume (entries numbered 363–579) focusses on historical legends, including numerous translations from Latin sources pertaining to <a href="/wiki/Germanic_Heroic_Age" title="Germanic Heroic Age">Germanic antiquity</a>, beginning with <a href="/wiki/Tacitus" title="Tacitus">Tacitus</a> (no 363. <i>Der heilige Salzfluß</i> "the sacred salt-river", <i><a href="/wiki/Annals_(Tacitus)" title="Annals (Tacitus)">Annales</a></i> XIII. 57), spanning both medieval legend (e.g. no. 576. <i>Hungersnoth im Grabfeld</i> "famine in <a href="/wiki/Grabfeld" title="Grabfeld">Grabfeld</a>", <i><a href="/wiki/Annales_Fuldenses" title="Annales Fuldenses">Annales Fuldenses</a></i> ad ann. 850) and early modern folkloristic records (e.g. no. 579 <i>Die Gräfin von Orlamünde</i> "the countess of Orlamünde", attributed to <a href="/wiki/Wolfgang_Lazius" title="Wolfgang Lazius">Wolfgang Lazius</a> <i>de migratione gentium libri VII</i> in the edition of Waldenfels, <i>antiquitatis selectae libri XII</i> 1677, 4.465-474), blurring the lines between <a href="/wiki/Folklore_genre" class="mw-redirect" title="Folklore genre">oral folk tradition</a> and <a href="/wiki/Legend" title="Legend">literary tradition</a>. </p><p>Numbers 505–514 group a number of <a href="/wiki/Swiss_folklore" title="Swiss folklore">Swiss</a> entries, including <a href="/wiki/Radbot,_Count_of_Habsburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Radbot, Count of Habsburg">Radbot von Habsburg</a> (505), <a href="/wiki/Str%C3%A4ttligen" title="Strättligen">Rudolf von Strättlingen</a> (506), <a href="/wiki/Idda_von_Toggenburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Idda von Toggenburg">Idda von Toggenburg</a> (507), <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Swedish_origin_legend" title="Swiss Swedish origin legend">Auswanderung der Schweizer</a> (508), <a href="/wiki/R%C3%BCtlischwur" class="mw-redirect" title="Rütlischwur">Der Bund im Rütli</a> (511) and <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_Tell" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilhelm Tell">Wilhelm Tell</a> (512). </p><p>A number of the stories record medieval antisemitic beliefs held by Germanic-speaking peoples.
