[1] It was given to right-wing intellectuals and was named in memory of statesman and former German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. [2] [3] The journalism and literary prizes are now both separate prizes altogether. [4]

This is not to be confused with the Konrad-Adenauer-Preis given by the city of Cologne. [5]
