The Hermann Sinsheimer plaque is a literary award that has been awarded in even years by the Palatinate city ​​of Freinsheim ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) since 2000 . It is endowed with 1000 euros. In odd years the city awards the Hermann Sinsheimer Prize . Both awards commemorate the Jewish writer, theater critic and journalist Hermann Sinsheimer (1883–1950), who was born in Freinsheim . He had to flee to England during the Nazi era ; two of his siblings were victims of the Holocaust .

Those honored are not necessarily recognized as literary figures , but primarily because of their services to literature . The awards were initiated by Gert Weber (1927–2010). In 2006, at the 4th award, he was honored for his life's work with the Hermann Sinsheimer plaque.
