The Fritz Gerlich Prize of €10,000, sponsored by TELLUX Beteiligungsgesellschaft, honors a contemporary work of fiction or a documentary that boldly investigates a topic that has been covered in the media. In the spirit of Fritz Gerlich, a publicist murdered at the Dachau concentration camp in 1934, the work is one that opposes all forms of dictatorship, intolerance, and abuse of power and stands for human dignity.
