From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goethe Medal, also known as the Goethe-Medal, is a yearly prize given by the Goethe Institute to honor non-Germans for meritorious contributions in the spirit of the Institute. It is an official decoration of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The prize is given on March 22, the anniversary of Goethe's death. The first awards were made in 1955. In the intervening years, through 2006, a total of 312 women and men from 57 countries have been so honored.
