Alfred-Kerr-Preis

The Alfred Kerr Preis (Alfred Kerr Prize) for literary criticism is an annual award funded by the journal of the German Book Trade.

The prize commemorates the theatre, literary critic and journalist Alfred Kerr (1867-1948) and is endowed with 5,000 euros each year. Since 1996 the prize has been given to an individual for their work in literary criticism, and since 2004 has taken place at the Leipzig Book Fair.

The jury consists of Prof Klaus Reichert (Honorary President of the German Academy for Language and Literature), Dr. Maria Gazzetti (Manager of the Poetic Literature Foundation ), Peter Härtling (author), Klaus Schöffling (publisher), Torsten Casimir (financial newspaper chief), and Michael Lemling (Managing Director of the Munich bookstore Lehmkuhl), .
