The Adenauer-de Gaulle Prize (German: '''Adenauer-de Gaulle-Preis'''|links=no, French: '''Prix de Gaulle-Adenauer'''|links=no) is an award given to French or German figures and institutions that have made an exceptional contribution to French-German cooperation. It is named after Germany's former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and France's former President Charles de Gaulle. They worked for a reconciliation between the two European countries. This reconciliation was sealed by the Élysée Treaty in 1963. The prize is endowed with €10,000 and awarded alternatively in Germany and France.^[1] The award was established on 22 January 1988 (25th anniversary Élysée Treaty) by the German and French governments.^[2]
