Reinhold Schneider Prize

The Reinhold-Schneider-Preis (Reinhold Schneider Prize) is the cultural prize awarded by the German town of Freiburg im Breisgau. It has been awarded biennially since 1960, alternating between literature, music and art. In addition to the main prize of €15,000, a Förderpreis (scholarship) of €6,000 is awarded. A connection of the recipient to Freiburg is essential, as was the case for the writer Reinhold Schneider, after whom the prize is named.
