Josef Gabriel von Rheinberger Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Josef Gabriel von Rheinberger Prize is a Liechtenstein culture prize that is named after the Liechtenstein composer Joseph Gabriel von Rheinberger . The Culture Prize has been awarded every two years since 1976 to people or groups from Liechtenstein who achieve cultural or scientific achievements.

History of origin

In memory of the 19th century Liechtenstein composer - Joseph Gabriel von Rheinberg - the Vaduz City Council decided in 1976 to honor people, groups or institutions for their cultural or scientific achievements with a prize. The award ceremony should take place every two years and, if possible, on the anniversary of the Liechtenstein composer's death - on November 25th - of the respective year. For the first time, the prize and funding amount of 5,000 Swiss francs was presented to the Vaduz church choir in 1976 . Over time, the amount was increased from 5,000 to 15,000 Swiss francs. On November 25, 1991, the Josef Gabriel von Rheinberg Prize went to a woman for the first time: the artist Regina Marxer .

Selection process

The jury consists of seven people who are appointed by the local council every four years. This jury is known as the jury and votes together on the person, group or institution to be recognized. By October 1st of the year of the award, the jury will send the name of the award winner to the mayor with a written justification. This announces the selection to the municipal council and thus also to the public.
