The Caroline-Schlegel-Preis is a literary award of the city of Jena in Germany, given for outstanding work in the genres of essay and feuilleton in German. The award began with a public competition in 2000, to celebrate the Romantikerhaus [de] (lit.: House of the Romantics, the former residence of the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte) opening as a museum for literary culture. Starting from 2002, the award has been given once every three years. There is a main prize (Hauptpreis: €5,000) and a secondary prize for early-career entrants (Förderpreis: €2,500). The prize money of €7,500 is funded by an anonymous private patron.^[1]
