Manfred Lautenschläger Award
The award, made possible by Manfred Lautenschläger through his foundation, specifically benefits the humanities and cultural studies, whose role as guiding disciplines for our present-day world he emphasizes through his focus on history, society, and culture. It is intended to serve as both a “recognition” and a “driving force” for young researchers.
The award is endowed with 10,000 euros and will be awarded for the first time in 2022.
