from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Hessel

The Franz Hessel Prize for Contemporary Literature is a Franco-German literary prize .

description

The award is named after the German writer, translator and editor Franz Hessel (1880–1941), who with his life and work was a mediator between countries and cultures, especially between Germany and France. The prize is awarded to one German-speaking and one French-speaking author. The prerequisites for a nomination are a current publication, if possible in the year of the award, and that the work has not yet been translated into German or French. "In doing so, publications are taken into account that primarily reflect the present and which, under the impression of the changing worlds of life, allow a diagnosis of the time and invite you to build bridges to the other country".

The award is given annually in retrospect for the previous year; it is endowed with prize money of 10,000 euros each (as of 2019). The award is linked to a writer's residence in the Genshagen Foundation. It is also intended to help ensure that the award-winning works are translated into German or French.

Benefactor

The Franz Hessel Prize was re-established in 2010. The initiators are the German Genshagen Foundation and the Villa Gillet in Lyon. The prize is sponsored by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the French Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. The winners are each selected by a German and a French jury.

The prize was first presented on December 10, 2010 by the German Minister of State for Culture Bernd Neumann and France's Minister of Culture Frédéric Mitterrand as patrons of the Franco-German Council of Ministers in Freiburg i.Br. forgive.
