Hansel and Gretel: A Fairy Tale Full of Riddles


At first glance, the story of Hansel and Gretel seems simple: two children get lost in the woods, encounter a wicked witch, and outsmart her. But Reese and Ërnst reveal that this fairy tale holds a layered narrative reaching far deeper into the past than one might expect – and with a very special connection to the Nuremberg region.


Through in-depth research, the two uncover clues suggesting that the origins of Hansel and Gretel are closely tied to the area around Nuremberg. This region, now best known for its gingerbread, may have witnessed historical events that inspired the tale. Reese explores how famines, poverty, and even rumors of dark crimes might have laid the foundation for this grim story.

The character of the witch also comes under closer scrutiny: was she really just a figure from folklore, or could she be based on historical individuals or deeply rooted fears of outsiders and supposed magic? Reese and Ërnst expose how such figures have repeatedly surfaced throughout history – often with frightening consequences.

Accompanied by Ërnst’s sharp humor and Reese’s relentless detective work, this episode uncovers gripping connections between fairy tales, regional history, and cultural fears. Discover how the forests around Nuremberg were not only the setting for a famous story, but also witnesses to a darker, very real past.

Get ready for a fascinating investigation that shows Hansel and Gretel have far more to say than you'd think – and that Nuremberg offers more than just gingerbread!
