Deutscher Bücherpreis should not be confused with Deutscher Buchpreis.
The Deutscher Bücherpreis (English: German Book Prize) was a non-monetary prize for literature which was awarded at the Leipzig Book Fair by the German Publishers and Booksellers Association from 2002 to 2004.
After September 2004, the Association stopped awarding the prize. Starting from autumn 2005, the Association has instead awarded the similarly named Deutscher Buchpreis at the Frankfurt Book Fair, to a single German-language novel each year. At the Leipzig Book Fair, the Leipzig Book Fair Prize has been awarded since spring 2005, in three categories: fiction, nonfiction and translation.
Listed below are the prizewinners of the award by category.[1] The Deutscher Buchpreis, which replaced the award, is awarded to only one German-language book each year.
