The Alfred Döblin Scholarship of the Berlin Academy of the Arts has been awarded since 1985 and is named after the writer Alfred Döblin .

The selected Berlin writers receive a residency grant for three to twelve months in the amount of 2000 euros per month (as of 2020). During the scholarship period, the scholarship holders live in the Alfred Döblin House in Wewelsfleth, which Günter Grass gave to the State of Berlin in 1985 . Residence is compulsory. A three-person jury will decide on the submitted work samples. It includes one representative each from the Academy of the Arts, the PEN Center for the Federal Republic of Germany and the Senate Administration for Science, Research and Culture.

For the 30th anniversary of the scholarship, Thilo Bock and Peter Wawerzinek published a homage to the Alfred-Döblin-Haus and its long-time housekeeper Hannelore Keyn, who died in 2010, in the form of the ghost story collection The strikingly inconspicuous life of the housekeeper Hannelore Keyn in the Villa Grassimo in Wewelsfleth .
