Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring

The Ringelband Foundation has been awarding the Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring with the city of Bensheim and the German Academy of the Performing Arts since 1986. The award is endowed with €10,000. The jury changes annually. The prize is awarded for an outstanding performance in the theatre. The theatre critic Wilhelm Ringelband, who died in Bensheim in 1981, donated the prize. Ringelband wanted the name of the Max Reinhardt actress Gertrud Eysoldt he admired to be associated with an award. The Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring is one of the most important theatre awards in German-speaking countries.
