Adenauer-de Gaulle Prize

The Adenauer-de Gaulle Prize (German: Adenauer-de Gaulle-Preis, French: Prix de Gaulle-Adenauer) is an award given to French or German figures and institutions that have made an exceptional contribution to French-German cooperation.[1] It is named after Germany's former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and France's former President Charles de Gaulle.[2] They worked for a reconciliation between the two European countries. This reconciliation was sealed by the Élysée Treaty in 1963.[2] The prize is endowed with €10,000 and awarded alternatively in Germany and France.[3] The award was established on 22 January 1988 (25th anniversary Élysée Treaty) by the German and French governments.[3][4]
