Senator Neumann Prize
The Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg donated the Senator Neumann Prize to promote the inclusion of disabled and non-disabled people. The award winners must be significantly involved in work in Hamburg that takes the interests of disabled people into account in an outstanding manner and with an innovative effect and thereby contributes to an inclusive society. This includes the development and implementation of structural measures or educational, cultural, professional or social projects and the achievement of research results. All measures and projects must have a meaning that goes beyond the individual care.
The prize is awarded every five years in memory of Paul Neumann , who was a member of the Hamburg Senate from 1921 to 1933. It was originally donated in 1973 "for people who have given special attention to the interests of disabled people in buildings and facilities". At the most recent awards in 2013 and 2018, the prize was endowed with a total of 20,000 euros, which were divided into three to four projects.

- The Lurup Education Center received the main prize . It was endowed with 10,000 euros. The education center ensures equal opportunities by making the offers available to all children.

- Kampnagel, Internationale Kulturfabrik GmbH received a second prize . It was endowed with 4,000 euros. The jury's justification emphasized: Kampnagel began to become an inclusive theater back in 2007. Inclusion is of course lived here. People with disabilities are present in all areas (on stage, in the direction, etc.) and at eye level.
- Another second prize went to the words factory for supported communication . Their EiS app describes terms by combining symbols (see), audio output (speak + hear), written word (read) and video (signs). This app enables mutual learning and helps with communication.

- The prize for young talent, endowed with 2,000 euros, went to Enactus Hamburg . The student initiative “MeineStadt” wants to win new jobs for people with disabilities. The students developed a concept for inclusive city tours by and with people in wheelchairs.
Previous winners
- 1983: Martha Foundation , “Kinderheim im Erlenbusch”, playground. The price of DM 4,000.00 was awarded "for the development and design of a common playground for disabled and non-disabled children."
- 1993: Eisenhans / Theater Klabauter . In 1993, the Eisenhans project , in which disabled and non-disabled people play theater together in their free time, came about as a result of a cooperation between Thalia Theater Hamburg and “Life with Disability Hamburg” (later the Klabauter theater workshop ) . This led to the conviction that the expressiveness of disabled people also enables professional theater work. So it was finally achieved that the Das Rauhe Haus foundation in Hamburg was ready to integrate this work into the area of individual work support.
- 2003: Winking Froh Architekten BDA for the housing complex Stiftung Anscharhöhe, Hamburg-Eppendorf (Senator Neumann Prize for exemplary handicapped-accessible buildings)
- 2008: Irre Menschlich Hamburg e. V .: Trialogical anti- stigma projects . All of these projects live from “experts through experience and participation”. Only together with the psychiatric experts as “life teachers” and “speakers” can it apparently succeed in reducing social distance and promoting tolerance in dealing with others and sensitivity in dealing with oneself. In April 2009 the association received the Senator Neumann Prize for this specialty and diversity.
