The medal was transferred to the Carl Duisberg Foundation together with the Adolf von Baeyer Memorial Coin and the corresponding endowment capital and was awarded by the Association of German Chemists until 1940 . The GDCh has awarded the award since 1950, initially financially by Bayer AG and later by a special fund of the GDCh.
