history
The Adolf von Baeyer memorial coin is a gold medal donated by Carl Duisberg on May 19, 1910 in memory of the 50th anniversary of the lecturer and the 75th birthday of his teacher Adolf von Baeyer . In the period before the Second World War , the medal and prize money were financed from the endowment capital of the Carl Duisberg Foundation and awarded by the Association of German Chemists at the time.
After the fall of the Third Reich in 1949, the newly founded Society of German Chemists revived the Adolf von Baeyer commemorative coin, for which Bayer AG was initially responsible . Today this award is financed with prize money of 7,500 euros from the income of a special fund at the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker.
