Fritz Reuter Literature Prize

The Fritz Reuter Literature Prize has been awarded annually since 1999 by the Fritz Reuter Literature Museum and the City of Stavenhagen for new literature in Low German ( poetry / prose ) or for linguistic and literary studies. The prize is endowed with 2,000 euros and is financed in equal parts by the city of Stavenhagen and the Sparkasse Neubrandenburg-Demmin .
