Stefan Andres Prize
The Stefan Andres Prize of the city of Schweich for literature in the German language is an award which - with exceptions - is awarded every three years; it is endowed with 5000 euros (as of 2017).
Mrs. Dorothee Andres, the widow of the late poet Stefan Andres , is the initiator of the Stefan Andres Prize.
The Stefan-Andres-Gesellschaft was founded in 1979 in Schweich on the Moselle and has been based in the restored medieval Niederprümer Hof cultural center since 1983 . It has nearly 500 members in 14 countries in Western and Eastern Europe, Canada, the USA, Mexico, Moscow and Beijing. Abroad, they are mostly literary scholars or Germanists, publicists or journalists, at home professors, teachers, students and pupils.
