Calw Hermann Hesse Prize

The Calw Hermann Hesse Prize is a literary prize awarded since 1990 in turns every second year alternately to a German-language literary periodical or a translator of the works of Hermann Hesse. The prize is awarded by the Hermann Hesse Foundation in Calw, Germany, where Hermann Hesse grew up.

The prize should neither be confused with the Hermann-Hesse-Literaturpreis nor with the prize of the Internationale Hermann-Hesse-Gesellschaft (unofficial English name: International Hermann Hesse Society), which was awarded for the first time in 2017 to Adolf Muschg.[1][2]
