Ur-Krostitzer annual ring

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ur-Krostitzer Jahresring is a Central German historian award that the distribution company of the Ur-Krostitzer beer brand awards to recreational historians every year and awards prize money of 1500 euros. The winner will also receive a gold replica of the ring that King Gustav II of Sweden is said to have presented to the master brewer in Krostitz in 1631 as a thank you for the tasty refreshment drink . The Krostitzer Brewery distributes 3,000 euros among the winners in various categories, which are determined by the jury according to the entries received, such as documentation , biography , industrial or local history . The special youth award (from 16 years) is endowed with 500 euros. In addition, the jury awards “special recognitions” for further work. With this moral award, the authors should be encouraged in their efforts to come to terms with Central German history.

The original Krostitzer Jahresring was created on the occasion of the 470th anniversary of the Krostitzer Brewery in 2004. The name goes back to a heavy gold ring with a carbuncle stone that the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf is said to have worn over the glove during the Thirty Years' War , which can no longer be found today. For this reason, the Krostitzer brewery had master goldsmiths Monika and Gunter Heyn make a replica in 2004. The aim was to redesign the lost ring as true to the original as possible.

With reference to the Swedish king, the master goldsmiths wanted to incorporate the coat of arms of the Wasa house , to which Gustav II Adolf belonged, into the replica of the ring. However, the coat of arms as part of the Swedish national coat of arms was not allowed to be used for this purpose. So they only integrated the Wasa sheaf and the three Swedish crowns.

The winners of the original Krostitzer annual ring receive smaller and modified versions of the ring.

jury

The submissions will be judged by a jury that includes Wolfgang Welter, Managing Director of the Krostitzer Brewery, Katja Rosenbaum, Director of the Museum in Schloss Lützen , and Maik Reichel , former Museum Director of Schloss Lützen and current Director of the State Center for Civic Education Saxony-Anhalt , belong. In Lützen, where one of the main battles of the Thirty Years' War took place ( Battle of Lützen ), the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf died in 1632. The jury chairman was Manfred Straube from 2004 to 2018 . Rudolf Boch has been chairman of the jury since 2019 . From 1994 until his retirement in September 2018, he was professor of economic and social history at the Technical University of Chemnitz .

Modalities of the original Krostitzer annual ring

The research work of the participants must relate geographically to Central Germany , which in this case is defined by the federal states of Saxony , Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt . There are no thematic guidelines. The competition is aimed exclusively at so-called lay or leisure historians who neither study nor have studied history or are professionally active in this field. The leisure historians submit their application to the Krostitzer Brewery with the complete elaboration of their project, a selection of images (optionally digital or analog) and a short résumé. The award ceremony takes place annually in October or November.
