Willibald Pirckheimer Medal
The Willibald Pirckheimer Medal was a prize for services to culture and literature that was donated in 1955 by the Nuremberg bookseller, publisher and author Karl Borromäus Glock (1905–1985).
The medal is named after the German humanist Willibald Pirckheimer , whose research Glock has also made an outstanding contribution as an author and editor. The medal was usually awarded every two years by the Willibald Pirckheimer Board of Trustees, which included the founder and former award winners as well as other people from cultural life such as Leo Weismantel , Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster , Erich Przywara and Reinhold Schneider . The Board of Trustees has met since 1958 in the Yellow Castle in Heroldsberg , which Glock had acquired and renovated , and the award ceremonies also took place in the ballroom.
