Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring

The Ringelband Foundation has been awarding the Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring with the city of Bensheim and the German Academy of the Performing Arts since 1986.[1] The award is endowed with €10,000.[2] The jury changes annually. The prize is awarded for an outstanding performance in the theatre.[3] The theatre critic Wilhelm Ringelband, who died in Bensheim in 1981, donated the prize.[3] Ringelband wanted the name of the Max Reinhardt actress Gertrud Eysoldt (1870–1955)[4] he admired to be associated with an award.[3] The Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring is one of the most important theatre awards in German-speaking countries.[5]
