Golden feather

This article describes the media award from the Bauer publishing group. For the game award of the city of Essen, also known as the “Golden Pen”, see Essener Feder , for the literary award of the same name see Gastronomic Academy of Germany .

The Golden Feather was a media prize that was awarded annually in Hamburg by the Bauer Publishing Group from 2000 to 2009 in several categories . Celebrities who were able to establish themselves permanently in the media and entertainment industry were honored. The winners were selected by a jury made up of editors-in-chief from the Bauer publishing group. Every year in May, the winners were presented with a stylized golden pen as a trophy at a ceremony hosted by Bauer-Verlag in the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce . The idea of ​​the award went back to the initiative of Andreas Fritzenkötter , Head of Corporate Communications who worked for Bauer Verlag between 1999 and 2009 .
