Alfred-Döblin-Stipendium
Alfred-Döblin-Stipendium (or the Alfred Döblin Scholarship, in English) is a literary prize of Germany that has been awarded to Berlin writers since 1985. It was named after the writer Alfred Döblin.
The winner of the scholarship is selected by a jury of three, composed of one representative each from the Akademie der Künste, the P.E.N. Centre of the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Berlin Senate Department for Science, Research and Culture.[1]
The winner of the scholarship receives a writing residency for three to twelve months and is paid 1,100 euros per month during their residency. At this time, the winner is required to stay at the Alfred Döblin House in Wewelsfleth.
The purpose of the scholarship is to help emerging writers in Berlin to focus on their literary work.[2]
