Ulrich Wildgruber Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ulrich Wildgruber Prize is a theater prize to promote young actors, which is awarded in memory of the actor Ulrich Wildgruber , who died in 1999 .

The magazine stern had launched the award together with the Munich theater agent Carola Studlar and the Hamburger Kammerspiele (directors Ulrich Tukur / Ulrich Waller ); Until 2002, it consisted of a one-year scholarship of 500 euros per month. From 2003 to 2006 no prize was awarded.

Since 2007 it has been awarded again in cooperation with the support group of the St. Pauli Theater (directors Thomas Collien / Ulrich Waller ) in Hamburg. Until 2016, the award was supported by the Nordmetall Foundation , which took over the majority of the endowment of 10,000 euros (up to 2009: 7,500 euros). The financing was then taken over by Michael Behrendt , who heads the supervisory board of the shipping company Hapag-Lloyd , and his wife Cornelia.

In addition to the amount of money, the prize winner will receive a 41 cm high bronze sculpture made by the North German artist Thomas Jastram . This sculpture was first presented in January 2014.

This award for up-and-coming actors is intended to "promote idiosyncratic talents that are particularly noticeable in a world of cloned television faces and help them to continue straight and uncompromisingly on their way," says the St. Pauli Theater on its website.
