Deutsche Shakespeare-Stiftung

The “Deutsche Shakespeare-Stiftung” (German Shakespeare Foundation) was established in autumn 2000. The foundation has its seat in Weimar. It is a non-profit organisation whose purpose is the support of the activities of the Deutsche Shakespeare-Gesellschaft and the bestowal of the Society’s Martin Lehnert Award. At the end of 2000 the Founders’ Council elected its Advisory Board in the constitutive meeting. Consisting of two members, the Board began its work at the beginning of 2001.

The German Shakespeare Foundation has its own website now: www.shakespeare-stiftung.de. It includes information about the foundation’s history and its activities, the executive committees, as well as ways to support the society and its work, for instance, the Shakespeare Yearbook, the Shakespeare Academy, and the Martin-Lehnert Prize.
