Award - Juli Zeh receives Hannelore Greve Literature Prize

Writer Juli Zeh has been awarded the Hannelore Greve Prize for Literature, which is endowed with 25,000 euros. The 48-year-old accepted the award during a Senate reception at Hamburg City Hall on Thursday. The laudatory speech was given by Tilmann Krause, senior literary editor of the daily newspaper "Die Welt".

The Hamburg Authors' Association and the Hannelore-und-Helmut-Greve-Stiftung für Kultur und Wissenschaften announced that the author is one of the most distinguished writers of our time. "In her highly acclaimed works, some of which have also been made into films, such as "Unterleuten", "Über Menschen" and most recently "Zwischen Welten", she has proven herself to be an extremely alert and precise observer of German sensitivities," the statement said.

The Hannelore Greve Literature Prize has been awarded by the Hamburg Authors' Association for outstanding achievements in the field of German-language literature every year since 2004, alternating with the Walter Kempowski Literature Prize. Previous winners include Siegfried Lenz, Hans Pleschinski, Arno Surminski, Gerhard Henschel, Herta Müller and Ulla Hahn.
