German bridge building award
The German Bridge Construction Prize is an ideal (undoped) prize with which “outstanding engineering achievements in bridge construction in the Federal Republic of Germany and their importance for building culture are to be publicly recognized”. It is awarded every two years by the Federal Chamber of Engineers and the Association of Consulting Engineers (VBI). On the eve of the Dresden Bridge Construction Symposium, the prize sculpture will be awarded to an engineer for a completed bridge structure whose intellectual and creative work played a major role in the creation. There are two categories: road and railway bridges and footbridges and cycle paths . The prize, which was awarded for the first time in 2006, is under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Building and Urban Development , which supports it as part of the Baukultur initiative .
