The German National Prize for Art and Science ('''Ehrenzeichen des Deutschen Nationalpreises für Kunst und Wissenschaft''') was an award created by Adolf Hitler in 1937 as a replacement for the Nobel Prize (he had forbidden Germans to accept the latter award in 1936 after an anti-Nazi German writer was awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize for Peace). The award was designed by Müller-Erfurt and created in the form of a Pendant studded with diamonds. In fact, it was so heavy that a special mount had to be created so that it would stay on the wearer's jacket. An extremely ornate presentation box contained the pendant and a wide red and white sash also complemented the award. There was an image of s was also given. Recipients were Fritz Todt , Ferdinand Porsche , Willy Messerschmitt , Wilhelm Filchner , August Bier , Ernst Heinkel , Alfred Rosenberg , Ferdinand Sauerbruch , Paul Troost The total number of National Prizes awarded between 1937 and 1939 was nine, thus making this award one of the rarest awards given in the Third Reich , even rarer than the German Order . |
