Only one week to go until the award ceremony starts: On 11 June 2024, the jury will announce the winner of the German Non-Fiction Prize 2024 in the Small Hall of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg. The award ceremony will be broadcast live from 6 pm. Cultural journalist and literary critic Katja Gasser will moderate the event. Carsten Brosda, Senator for Culture and Media of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, and Karin Schmidt-Friderichs, director of the Börsenverein, will offer words of welcome to open the award ceremony.
