The Reinhold-Schneider-Preis (Reinhold Schneider Prize) is the cultural prize awarded by the German town of Freiburg im Breisgau. It has been awarded biennially since 1960, alternating between literature, music and art.[1] In addition to the main prize of €15,000, a Förderpreis (scholarship) of €6,000 is awarded. A connection of the recipient to Freiburg is essential, since that was the case for the writer Reinhold Schneider for whom the prize is named.
