Thomas Dachser Memorial Prize
The Thomas Dachser Memorial Prize (formerly the Citizens' Prize ) is an art prize that has been awarded at the Kempten art exhibition since 1969.
It was created in 1969 as a privately initiated and financed citizens' prize to promote artists. The art prize, initially endowed with DM 1,200, was donated by cheese manufacturer and artist Karl Hoefelmayr for five years until the Kempten-based transport company Thomas Dachser accepted the award. Since his death, the Dachser company has donated the art prize, which has been called the Thomas Dachser Memorial Prize since 1981 and is now endowed with 4,000 euros.
