Mainz town clerk
Eugen Ruge , City Clerk 2020
The Mainz city writer is a literary award from the television stations ZDF , 3sat and the city of Mainz . It was founded in 1984 and has been awarded annually since then. In addition to an endowment of (meanwhile) 12,500 euros, the award winner receives the right to live in the town clerk's domicile in the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz for one year as well as the opportunity to shoot a documentary on a subject of choice - the electronic diary.
