Hansel and Gretel are two figures from the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm. The basis for the fairy tale are German folk tales, which probably originated in Hesse. The names Hansel and Gretel are borrowed from, in those days, the most widespread names of Johannes and Margarete, in order to give the characters in that story especially a face by name.
