Karl-Vossler-Preis
From 1984 to 2002, the Free State of Bavaria biennially awarded its Karl-Vossler-Preis, named after Karl Vossler, to authors of scientific literature of distinguished literary quality written in German.[1][2] The award was aimed at fostering the status of German as an academic language and came with a prize money of 25,000 marks until 2000, and 12,500 Euros in 2002. It alternated with the Jean-Paul-Preis, another literary prize biennially awarded by Bavaria since 1983.
