Stern–Gerlach Medal

The Stern–Gerlach Medal is the most prestigious prize for experimental physicists awarded by the German Physical Society. It is named after the scientists of the Stern–Gerlach experiment, Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach. It was originally called the Stern–Gerlach Prize, and has been awarded annually since 1988. It was converted into a medal in 1992.

The highest award of the German Physical Society for theoretical physics is the Max Planck Medal.
