The article is devoted to outlining the semantics of the dwelling of the ancient Germans in the folklore literature of the fairy tale genre, the evolution of which is determined by extralinguistic and linguistic factors. The choice of the research topic is motivated by the anthropocentric approach to the consideration of problems of modern linguistics, the peripherality of the German language as an object of research and the fragmentation of special studies, respectively. The corpus of the analyzed phenomenon, which was compiled by the method of continuous selection from the first volume of the seventh edition of the collection of the Brothers Grimm "Kinder- und Hausmärchen" (1857), consists of 382 linguistic units. The definition of the concept of "housing" appeals to authentic reference literature on the historical axis (H. Paul, R. Schützeichel). It has been established that the dwelling of the ancient Germans varies: from natural (a tree hollow, forest, cave, grotto, etc.) to artificial (a house, hut, palace, tower, etc.). The semantics of dwelling in the folk tales collected and literary processed by the Brothers Grimm is diverse: positive, neutral, negative, indefinite. Reliable data on the above semantics were obtained through an integrated comprehensive methodology, which contains a number of methods and techniques, including general scientific (observation, analysis, synthesis, generalization), paradigmatic (descriptive, structural, functional) and special (contextual-interpretative, semantic and comparative analyses). As a result of the conducted scientific work, the ternary structure of the concept of “housing” of the ancient Germans was highlighted, its types, types, and functions were qualified, single and multiple housing of the so-called “economy, comfort, business, and premium class” were distinguished from the standpoint of psychology and religion, and the idea of the relationship between the type of housing and culture, the type of housing and the spiritual development of a person, the functions of housing and the emotions of an individual were confirmed.
