German Culture Policy Prize is awarded to Monika Grütters
Monika Gruetters, the former State Minister for Culture and Media in Germany, is set to receive the Culture Policy Award on September 24 in Berlin. The award, given by the German Cultural Council, an umbrella organization of cultural associations in Germany, honours significant contributions to culture policy.
Gruetters' tenure as State Minister for Culture and Media, which spanned from 2013 to 2021, coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this challenging period, cultural institutions in Germany had to temporarily close. Despite these difficulties, Gruetters' commitment and unwavering support for artists and cultural institutions were praised by the Cultural Council.
The Cultural Council stated that cultural topics gained significant visibility and attention during Gruetters' tenure. This recognition with the Culture Policy Award follows her tenure as State Minister for Culture and Media, which ended in 2021.
The Culture Policy Award, established in 2021, is a successor to the earlier "Culture Groschen" award, although specific historical details and the list of past recipients for this award are not readily available. The award is likely specific to a particular sector or cultural institution in Germany.
Previous recipients of the Culture Policy Award include art historian Bénedicte Savoy, climate scientist Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, and President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster.
It is worth noting that Gruetters, at 63 years old, has made a significant impact on Germany's cultural landscape. Her dedication and support for the arts and cultural institutions have been instrumental in maintaining the vibrancy of Germany's cultural sector, even during challenging times.
This award serves as a testament to Gruetters' commitment to culture and her role in shaping Germany's cultural policy. The Culture Policy Award ceremony in Berlin promises to be a celebration of her achievements and contributions to the cultural sector in Germany.
