Wilhelm Müller Prize
The Wilhelm Müller Prize was from 1996 to 2013 usually every three years by the state of Saxony-Anhalt , alternating with the Friedrich Nietzsche Prize and the Georg-Kaiser Prize awarded as a prize for the literary offspring.
The prize was endowed with 15,000 euros. It was awarded on the basis of suggestions made by a jury.
It is named after the poet Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Müller , who was born in Dessau in 1794 and died there in 1827.
In 2014 the Ministry of Culture of Saxony-Anhalt decided to discontinue the Wilhelm Müller Prize , the Friedrich Nietzsche Prize and the Georg Kaiser Sponsorship Prize in favor of an annual Klopstock Prize for new literature .
