Brandenburg Environmental Literature Prize
The Brandenburg Environmental Literature Prize has been awarded since 1994 by the Ministry for Rural Development, Environment and Consumer Protection of the German state of Brandenburg . The prize, named after the writer Erwin Strittmatter until 2007 , is endowed with 5000 euros. With its award, both a single literary work and the overall work of a writer can be recognized, which combines literary quality with an ethical claim to preserve the natural sphere of life in a special way. Due to the fact that Erwin Strittmatter did not belong to the regulatory police during the Nazi era, the award was renamed in 2008.
