The Hans-Reinhart-Ring (in French: Anneau Hans-Reinhart; in Italian: Anello Hans Reinhart; in Romansh: Anè da Hans Reinhart) is a prestigious Swiss award in theatre. Since 2014 it is part of the Swiss Theater Awards as the Grand Award for Theater/Hans Reinhardt Ring.[1]
Following a grant by the poet and patron Hans Reinhart (1880-1963), the ring honors a noted personality in the field. It was awarded since 1957 by the "Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Theaterkultur" (Société Suisse du Théâtre, Società Svizzera di Studi Teatrali, Societad Svizra per Cultura da Teater). Unlike the Iffland-Ring, a new ring is custom made for each laureate. It is now awarded by the federal jury for theater, and given by a representative of the above-mentioned Swiss society for theater.
