Anton Gindely Prize

The Anton Gindely Prize was awarded by the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe as an Austrian science prize. This award honored those scientists who, through their work, made a special contribution to understanding in the diversity of the Danube region.

The prize, named after the historian Anton Gindely , was originally endowed by the Austrian Research Foundation, later by the Federal Ministry for Science and Research , from 1979 to 2010, and again in 2012. Most recently, Ernst Bruckmüller was the chairman of the jury.

The award-winning book originally had to be in German; since 1988 books in other languages ​​have also received awards. These historical books should not only be based on German-language sources, but should also use sources in at least one other language that is important for the Danube region. In the background is the question of whether a “history of Austria” should be carried out primarily within the framework of German history or primarily within the framework of the Danube monarchy. Authoritative Austrian historians up until 1945 took the former position.

This prize, which was awarded in the decade before the fall of the Eastern European Union in 1989/1990, was an attempt to promote and recognize research beyond the Iron Curtain . "This pioneering function was accompanied by a prophetic function: The preoccupation with a multiethnic state should be promoted, the preoccupation with the associated conflicts and attempted solutions."
