Johann-Peter-Hebel-Preis

The Johann-Peter-Hebel-Preis (Johann Peter Hebel Prize) is a literary award issued by the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It was endowed in 1936 in honour of the writer and Alemannic poet Johann Peter Hebel.[1] The prize is since 1974 awarded every two years (before every year) to writers, translators, essayists, media representatives or scientists from the German state of Baden-Württemberg writing in Alemannic dialect or whose works are connected with Hebel.[2] The ceremony of the €20,000 prize[3] (since 2024; formerly €10,000) takes place in Hausen im Wiesental, which is also home to the "Hebelfest" every 10 May[4], Hebel's birthday.

Winners

In 2026, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Johann Peter Hebel's death, in addition to the Johann-Peter-Hebel-Preis which was awarded to Annette Pehnt, a special honorary award was given to literary scholar Friedrich Pfäfflin.[8]
