The Grimme-Preis (Grimme Award), formerly known as the Adolf-Grimme-Preis, is one of the most prestigious German television awards. It is named after the first general director of Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk, Adolf Grimme. The Grimme Institute also awards the Grimme Online Award and the Deutscher Radiopreis (German Radio Award).

History

The award, founded as the Adolf-Grimme-Preis in 1964, is named after the first general director of Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk, Adolf Grimme. The award was endowed by the German Community College association and is granted to productions "that use the specific possibilities of the medium of television in an extraordinary manner and at the same time can serve as examples regarding content and method".

It was renamed the Grimme-Preis in 2011.

One of the first award winners was in 1964, for his TV movie Sonderurlaub, about a failed escape from the German Democratic Republic.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder received an honorable mention in 1974 for his film World on a Wire.

By 2014, German veteran director Dominik Graf had received ten awards for his various films. Danish director Lars von Trier was awarded a Grimme-Preis in 1996 for his miniseries The Kingdom. Director Christian Petzold has been awarded the prize twice, for his films Wolfsburg (2003) and Something to Remind Me (2001). In 2016, Edward Berger's series Deutschland 83 was one of the four recipients in the principal "fiction" category. The TV series Dark became in 2018 the first Netflix show to receive the award.

Description and significance

The award ceremony takes place annually at Theater Marl in Marl, North Rhine-Westphalia, and is hosted by the Grimme-Institut.

In addition to the Grimme Award, the institute also grants the Grimme Online Award and the German Radio Award (de).

The Grimme Award has been referred to in Kino magazine as the "German TV Oscar".{{cite book|title=Kino|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Q3sHAQAAIAAJ |access-date=12 October 2010|year=2003|publisher=D. Holloway|page=21|quote=Adolf Grimme Prizes (the German TV »Oscar«)}}
