Fritz Bauer Prize

The Fritz Bauer Prize (German: Fritz Bauer-Preis) is a prize awarded by the Humanist Union, established in 1968 in memory of its founder, Fritz Bauer, the longtime Attorney General of Hesse. The Humanist Union presents the award to those who have excelled in contributions to the humanization, liberalization and democratization of the judiciary.

Since 2013, the Fritz Bauer Prize for Social Engagement has also been awarded by the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium, where Bauer completed his secondary education. This prize was initiated by the jurist Herta Däubler-Gmelin.

In 2014, the German Federal Minister of Justice Heiko Maas established the Fritz Bauer Study Prize for Human Rights and Contemporary Legal History, awarded for doctoral theses in law that address Fritz Bauer, his work, or related themes. The prize is awarded every two years by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection.
