Model answer (one possible set; check each date and place):

1800s: Marburg and Kassel. Law studies, meeting Savigny, first work on old texts and contact with Brentano and Arnim.
1810s: Kassel. The first edition of the tales (1812 and 1815), work as librarians after the end of French-influenced rule.
1820s: Kassel. Librarian posts, further volumes of scholarship, and Jacob's work on German grammar.
1830s: Göttingen, then Kassel. University posts from 1830, the Göttingen Seven protest of 1837 and dismissal.
1840s: Kassel, then Berlin. The move to Berlin in 1841, the start of the dictionary work, and the 1848 revolutions.
1850s: Berlin. Dictionary work, the 1857 edition of the tales, and Wilhelm's death in 1859.
1860s: Berlin. Jacob continues the dictionary until his death in 1863 (this goes slightly past 1860).

The details of the early decades are the least certain, so check them against a biography.
