Max-Grünebaum-Foundation

Foundation

In May 1997 Max Gruenebaum’s grandchildren, who live in England, founded the Max Gruenebaum Foundation. Their aim is to remind people of the social commitment of their grandfather (1851 – 1925), who was a cloth manufacturer, counsellor of commerce, and honorary citizen of Cottbus, and who financially supported the construction of the Cottbus State Theatre and created social facilities for his workers and the citizens of Cottbus.

Detailed information on the foundation can be found on the Internet at  http://www.max-gruenebaum-stiftung.de/

Max Gruenebaum Award

Since May 1997 every year on the first Sunday in October the Max Gruenebaum Award is conferred. In the presence of members of the Gruenebaum family the prize is awarded to extraordinary young artists of the State Theatre and young scientists of the BTU.

The committee which is responsible for the Max Gruenebaum Award consists of nine people and selects the young artists and scientists in coordination with the supervisory board.
