Johann-Peter-Hebel-Preis

The Johann-Peter-Hebel-Preis (Johann Peter Hebel Prize) is a literary award issued by the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It was endowed in 1936 in honour of the writer and Alemannic poet Johann Peter Hebel. The prize is since 1974 awarded every two years (before every year) to writers, translators, essayists, media representatives or scientists from the German state of Baden-Württemberg writing in Alemannic dialect or whose works are connected with Hebel. The ceremony of the €20,000 prize (since 2024; formerly €10,000) takes place in Hausen im Wiesental, which is also home to the "Hebelfest" every 10 May, Hebel's birthday.
