Augspurg Heymann Prize

The Augspurg Heymann Prize was awarded annually from 2009 to 2015 by the Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Lesben in Nordrhein-Westfalen to courageous lesbian women to promote the visibility of lesbian women .

It was named after Anita Augspurg and her partner Lida Gustava Heymann . In the course of the first women's movement from 1890 until their death in 1943, both advocated women's rights - including universal suffrage . The award sculpture, a double wooden figurine with the name “Guardian”, was created by the artist Amsel-Gerlinde Korn.

In November 2015, the LAG Lesben in NRW decided not to name the price for courageous lesbians after Augspurg and Heymann after it became known that Heymann said in 1907 at an event organized by the Association of Progressive Women's Associations in Frankfurt am Main that one should should not shy away from leaving "laws for the extermination of physical and mental cripples". In 2017 the name was changed to CouLe Prize for Courageous Lesbians .
