The prize, which was donated in 1940 and distributed for the first time in August 1941 in the amount of 5000 Reichsmark, is supposed to be an annual call to the German poets and writers to make the historical Reichsraum Bohemia and Moravia again home in the field of German literature and poetry. The participation of all German authors in the competition was a very lively one. Of 243 entries 276 works were received. At the suggestion of the honorary prize court, the publishing house and magazine decided to distribute the prize for 1942 to the extent of 5000 RM. in such a way that five narrator prizes and three poetry prizes were awarded.
