This year, the city of Gronau is once again awarding the “Heimatpreis”, which is endowed with 5,000 euros. Application is possible until July 31, 2023. Update: The application phase is closed.

The Homeland Award is intended to show appreciation for the commitment of the people who shape their homeland every day, on both a large and small scale. “Home” here stands for community and cohesion. In addition to the appreciation for the work done, this is also an opportunity to strengthen the topic of homeland and to inspire and encourage new interested parties.

The financial resources come from the funding pot “Heimat. Future. North Rhine-Westphalia. We promote what connects people” of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Last year’s prize winner was the “Plattdeutsch-Theater der Katholischen Landjugendbewegung KLJB Epe”.

Application forms can be downloaded now at www.gronau.de/heimatpreis, completed and sent to the City of Gronau by 07/31/2023. Either by e-mail (preferred): k.raible@gronau.de or by mail: City of Gronau, Fachdienst Bildung und Sport, Frau Raible, Neustraße 31, 48599 Gronau.

After the end of the application phase, the Main and Finance Committee, with the participation of the Committee for Schools, Education and Culture, will decide on the award.
