Joseph Carlebach Prize
In commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Joseph Carlebach (1883–1942) Universität Hamburg awards the Joseph Carlebach Prize. The award honors young researchers from greater Hamburg for their outstanding academic contributions to Jewish history, religion, and culture, in particular excellent course papers, degree theses, and doctoral dissertations.
Prior to his deportation to Riga in 1941, Dr. Joseph Carlebach was the last chief rabbi of the parishes Altona and Hamburg. Introduced in 2004, the Joseph Carlebach Prize aims to keep Carlebach's name alive. At the same time the award is dedicated to the rabbi's daughter Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach for her unrelenting efforts to encourage understanding, cooperation, and collective remembrance.
