  • In 2010 Uwe Bertram received the culture award from the district of Rosenheim .
  • In 2012 he received one of the five jury prizes at the 30th Bavarian Theatertage Augsburg for the musical theater production "The Black Rider" . The reason stated: “The imagery of Tim Burton and the music of Tom Waits. That fits. That fits very well. And find each other in the Black Rider production of the Wasserburg theater. We look at a wall painted with characters and scenes that could have come from cartoons like 'Corps Bride'. Small boxes open behind the wall. They offer space for the actors, who in turn are costumed like scary dolls. A self-contained Tom Waits world is created in a small space. You don't want to imagine this in any other detail. "
  • In 2015, Federal President Joachim Gauck awarded Uwe Bertram the Federal Cross of Merit
