Emanuel Geibel Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Emanuel Geibel Prize (also: Prize of the Emanuel Geibel Foundation ) was a municipal literature prize . The Emanuel Geibel Foundation was established in 1940 by the Hanseatic City of Lübeck on the occasion of the 125th birthday of the poet Emanuel Geibel . A prize was to be awarded to poets, composers and visual artists every five years. The award of the award was tied to the condition that the winners were born in Lübeck or were resident in Lübeck at the time of the award ceremony.

The prize was awarded for the first and last time in 1943 on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of Lübeck. Prize winners were the sculptor Fritz Behn , the writer Hans Heitmann , the director of the Lübeck master workshop Asmus Jessen and the picture sticker Erich Klahn . In 1943, a decision was made for winners who had joined the NSDAP in either the 1920s or 1933.

The prize was endowed with 3,000 Reichsmarks . Since the endowment was over 2,000 RM, the creation of the prize had to be approved by the Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda . The Ministry classified the award in Category III "Art Awards of Local Importance".
