Adelbert von Chamisso Prize explained

The Adelbert von Chamisso Prize (German: link=no|Adelbert-von-Chamisso-Preis) was a German literary award established in 1985, given to a work whose author's mother tongue is not German, as was the case for Adelbert von Chamisso. It was offered by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.^{[1] [2]}

In addition to the main prize with a prize money of €15,000,^[2] one or more promotional prizes ("Förderpreise") with a prize money of €7,000^[2] and sometimes an honorary award ("Ehrengabe") were given.

The prize was created by Harald Weinrich.^{[1] [2]}

In 2016, the Robert Bosch Stiftung announced that the prize would be discontinued after the final 2017 award, saying that it had now fulfilled its original objective.^[3]
