Schiller Prize of the City of Marbach

The Schiller Prize of the City of Marbach, endowed with 10,000 euros, is awarded every two years on 10 November, Friedrich Schiller's birthday, to personalities who are committed to the poet's tradition of thought in their life or work. The prize was first awarded in 1959, on the 200th birthday of Schiller. Up until 2007 it was awarded every two years for outstanding work in the field of regional studies of Württemberg. In the Schiller Year 2009, the award criteria were changed. The award has been given to persons who are committed in their life or work to Schiller's tradition of thought.
