Iris Berben receiving German Culture Policy Prize
Overview
Actress Iris Berben has been awarded the 2026 German Culture Policy Prize by the German Cultural Council. The honor recognizes her long-term activism against racism, antisemitism, and right-wing extremism, as well as her work in promoting democratic education and the visibility of Jewish life.
Berben utilizes readings, school visits, and public discussions to preserve the memory of National Socialist crimes. The German Cultural Council noted that she views remembrance culture not merely as preserving the past, but as a ‘democratic task of the present.’
The award presentation features pianist Igor Levit as the laudatory speaker.
