Max Reger Prize
The Max Reger Art Prize was an art prize from the Suhl district in the GDR . It was awarded annually on October 7th on the day of the republic to personalities from science and art of the district Suhl. The award was named after the composer and conductor Max Reger , who lived in the former royal seat of Meiningen from 1911 to 1915 and directed the Meiningen court orchestra there until 1914 . This humanistic tradition of the city of Meiningen ended with the Unification Treaty in 1990.
The award ceremony took place in the marble hall of Elisabethenburg Palace in Meiningen. The Max Reger Chamber Music Ensemble, among others, was engaged for the ceremony. The prize was endowed with 3,000 marks from the GDR and consisted of a bronze medal in a leather case and a representative leather folder with a certificate. The award had different classes, including the "Literature" and "Theater" classes.
