Rhineland thaler
With the Rhineland Taler, the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (LVR) has been honoring people who have made a special contribution to the cultural development of the Rhineland since 1976. The taler shows the face of Medusa and was designed by the Rhenish artist Wolfgang Reuter . He was guided by the image found in 1952 of one of the spring catchments of the Eifel aqueduct , the Green Pütz . In addition to voluntary work, the award goes to the work in the field of monument and ground monument preservation, in the field of archive and museum preservation as well as the special effort in researching regional history, for folklore, preservation of dialect and language history. Special merits in the field of natural history and nature conservation and, since 1996, merits in the multinational coexistence between individual ethnic groups in the Rhineland can also be awarded the Rhineland thaler. The culture committee decides on the award of the award in a seven-member selection committee.
