Abstract
Abstract Although the Brothers Grimm give a different indication of origin for the fairy tale Die weiße und die schwarze Braut (KHM 135), the correspondence of characteristic linguistic phenomena with the fairy tales of Dorothea Viehmann suggests that this tale could also have been contributed by her. With the help of the “original version” from the Berlin Grimm estate, a wealth of further linguistic-stylistic and lexical-motif evidence is presented that corroborates this attribution. Considerations of the history of transmission, biography, and biography of the work make this assumption plausible, as do codicological and comparative analyses of the manuscript.
