German author

Wilhelmine von Schwertzell (1787-1863) was a German author, lieder composer, and folklorist who helped Wilhelm Grimm collect fairy tales.

Schwertzell was born in Willingshausen to Luise Freiin von Bozenburg-Stadtfeld and Georg von Schwertzell. Little is known about her education. She met Wilhelm Grimm through her brother Fritz, who studied with Wilhelm in Kassel and Marburg. Wilhelm and Wilhelmine corresponded extensively; at least 75 of their letters survive.

The Brothers Grimm (Jacob and Wilhelm) collected folk or fairy tales from many sources. Schwertzell contributed at least one: Gevatter Tod (Grim Reaper). She also wrote a story about a rune stone and a buried treasure as a gift to Wilhelm on his birthday.

Schwertzell’s music was published by Heinrich Albert Probst (later Kistner & Siegel). Her publications include:
