Lion-Feuchtwanger-Preis 2024: Dieter Langewiesche | Weiskopf-Wedding-Preis 2024: Sonja vom Brocke | Preisverleihung

In the organizer's words:

The Lion Feuchtwanger Prize of the Academy of Arts goes to the historian Dieter Langewiesche. With a special sense for terminology, Langewiesche has been involved in theoretical debates since the 1970s and has always dealt with the big questions of political social and cultural history. In a time of a renaissance of historical legends, he writes for an audience that still wants to be enlightened about itself.

The new Weiskopf Wedding Prize, awarded for the first time in 2024, goes to the poet Sonja vom Brocke. "As a perfectionist of rhythm, this solitaire of the German-language poetry landscape has been persistently spinning undisguised feminine verse structures for almost two decades, which flicker nervously in their fragility full of word beauty. With the idiosyncratic voice of her poetry, Sonja vom Brocke has developed a lyrical subtlety and subtlety that is second to none," said the jury.
