Buber-Rosenzweig-Medal
The Buber-Rosenzweig-Medaille is an annual prize awarded since 1968 by the Deutscher Koordinierungsrat der Gesellschaften für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit
to individuals, initiatives, or institutions, which have actively contributed to Christian–Jewish understanding. Forty-four different societies belong to the DKR. The name of the prize honors the memory of the Austrian-Jewish philosopher, translator, and educator Martin Buber and the German-Jewish theologian Franz Rosenzweig. In its inaugural year, the prize was granted to both the historian Friedrich Heer and the Protestant theologian Friedrich-Wilhelm Marquardt.Recipients
