history

The prize, founded in 2000 on the occasion of the upcoming 1200th anniversary of the first documentary mention of the spa town of Bad Kissingen (2001), is a merger of the previous Boxberger Prize , named after the pharmacist Georg Anton Boxberger (1679–1765) in Bad Kissingen , and the Prize of the City of Bad Kissingen .

The Boxberger Prize was first awarded in 1964 by the Boxberger Foundation, established in 1961, and was awarded a total of eleven times by 1999. The Boxberger Foundation was established in 1961 on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the still existing Boxberger pharmacy in Bad Kissingen (1711). The thematically related prize of the city of Bad Kissingen was awarded for the first time in 1970 and the last time in 1992. Both prizes were endowed with DM 10,000 each .

In 2000, both prizes were merged in order to make the new prize more attractive with a double endowment of a maximum amount of now 10,000 euros and to increase the scientific interest in the tender. Since then, the Boxberger Prize Bad Kissingen has been awarded every two years.

Task

The Boxberger Prize Bad Kissingen is awarded for scientific work in the following areas:

• Research into outpatient and inpatient forms of spa treatment and medical rehabilitation at the spa
• Research on the local spa treatments in Bad Kissingen ( healing springs )
• Research into the local spa treatments (for example moor ) that are administered in Bad Kissingen as part of spa and therapeutic procedures

The scientific work must have one of the named areas and be based on your own findings. It should represent the connection between the topic discussed and the Bad Kissingen health location. Until the 2008 call for applications, the submitted work could never have been published before the official deadline. This passage was changed with the 2010 call for tenders; since then, this exclusivity is no longer required. However, as of 2010, the work must not be older than two years. Submitted works that are not awarded the Boxberger Prize Bad Kissingen can be awarded a sponsorship prize of up to 5000 euros.
