Adelbert von Chamisso Prize
The Adelbert von Chamisso Prize (German Adelbert-von-Chamisso-Preis) was a German literary award established in 1985, given to a work whose author's mother tongue is not German, as was the case for Adelbert von Chamisso. It was offered by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.[1][2]
In addition to the main prize with a prize money of 15,000 €[2]), one or more promotional prizes ("Förderpreise") with a prize money of 7,000 €[2]) and sometimes an honorary award ("Ehrengabe") were given.
The prize was created by Harald Weinrich.[1][2]
In 2016, the Robert Bosch Stiftung announced that the prize would be discontinued after the final 2017 award, saying that it had now fulfilled its original objective.[3]
