The Meyenburg Foundation
In 1975, Maria Meyenburg, widow of leather manufacturer Wilhelm
Meyenburg from Krempe in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein,
decreed in her will that a foundation is established in support of the
German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. In addition to the
sizeable Meyenburg Prize, which has been awarded annually since
1981, the foundation operates a guest house for foreign scientists in
Heidelberg and has supported a lecture series with renowned scientists
from the field of cancer research. The prize, which is currently worth
50,000 €, is awarded for outstanding achievements in cancer research.
