end, writes the first chairman, Brigitta Willer, the following opinion:
Ernst Meister Prize
Let the award of the Ernst Meister Prize take in times of scarce resources does not depend on doping break away. - It is a veritable honor in itself. His reputation is primarily based on associated with the name of the poet's name Hagen, finding out about his hand recognition.
Let him not tear off the thread of continuity!
he is once broken, would not only be the last public memory of a great son of our city crumble - it would also lack a model for emerging talent and incentive to plow the field of poetry. There would be a less significant way by the public perceived.
latter applies to a large extent also for the city of Hagen.
