Mörike-Preis der Stadt Fellbach

Mörike-Preis der Stadt Fellbach is a literature prize awarded in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Since 1991, the City of Fellbach has awarded the prize in memory of the poet Eduard Mörike, who lived in Fellbach for some time in 1873. The prize money is €15,000. The award is given to selected German-speaking poets and writers who seem worthy of being honored in the name of Eduard Mörike through the quality of their work. The jury, consisting of a representative of the German Literature Archive Marbach and a professor of literature at a German-speaking university, selects a trustee who is solely responsible for naming the laureate. The Mörike Prize includes a sponsorship award endowed with €3,000, which can also be awarded to foreign-language authors. The recipient of the sponsorship award is determined by the main prize winner.
