Some of the main details which develop the idea that the Grimm Brothers collected stories to preserve culture are:

Their desire to recorded stories because few people were interested in collecting and preserving them. Their intention to demonstrate how language and customs can create a bond between people. And their decision to make a genuine reproduction of the stories in order to reveal truths about the conditions people lived in when the tales were recorded.

For the Grimm brothers, the main objective for publishing the compilation of the oral stories which made them world wide famous was to transmit people's souls, beliefs and imaginary through the centuries. They didn't want to follow the style of the Romantic schools of their time, they simply wanted to show the oral tales and its folklore heritage as real as possible.
