The prize, endowed with a total of 20,000 euros by the Dr. Eugen Liedl Stiftung zur Förderung der Erforschung der Bayerisch-Schwäbischen Landesgeschichte (Dr. Eugen Liedl Foundation for the Promotion of Research into Bavarian-Swabian Regional History), is awarded in equal parts to an outstanding scientific and an outstanding artistic achievement.
