history

The first presentation of the VideoWinner, as the award was called in the early years, was supposed to take place on January 18, 1991, but had to be canceled due to the outbreak of the First Gulf War. Two months later, the winners of the first hour were honored on a small scale, including a. Stefan Aust for “Deutschland im Herbst 89” and René Kollo and Wolfgang Sawallisch for the HDTV opera production “ Der Ring des Nibelungen ”. Since then, the gala, which has grown in importance every year, has taken place in four different locations: From the beginning in the Prinzregententheater , it went to the Kaisersaal of the Munich Residenz until the event in the Deutsches Theater in 2002 and changed its name: 2003 to DIVA - The German Video Award and in 2005 in DIVA - The German Entertainment Award. Since January 2009 the DIVA awards have been held in the Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich.
