Thomas Mann Prize ("German": Thomas-Mann-Preis) is a literary prize of Germany.
 In full the title is "Thomas Mann Prize of the city of Lübeck and the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts".
 It is given in alternate years in Lübeck and in Munich.
 The award is the product of a merger of two prizes in 2010, the Thomas Mann Preis der Hansestadt Lübeck (Thomas Mann Prize Lübeck) and the Großen Literaturpreis (Great Literature Prize) of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.
 The Thomas Mann Prize Lübeck was first awarded in 1975; the Great Literature Prize was first awarded in 1950.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry (Swedish: "Nobelpriset i kemi" ) is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in the various fields of chemistry.
 It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, who died in 1896.
 These prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.
 As dictated by Nobel's will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by a committee that consists of five members elected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
 The first Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 1901 to Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff, of the Netherlands.
 Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years.
 In 1901, van 't Hoff received 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007.
 The award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
The Thomas Mann House at 1550 San Remo Drive in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California, was designed by the modernist architect JR Davidson for the exiled German writer Thomas Mann in 1941.
 Mann lived at the house between 1942 and 1952 before his emigration to Switzerland, where he spent the last three years of his life.
 The house was sold by Mann to an American lawyer and his wife, and remained in their family until its 2016 purchase by the German government.
 A restoration of the house is planned, and it is intended that the house will become an artist's residence, like the nearby Villa Aurora, the home of fellow German exile Lion Feuchtwanger.
The Nobel Prizes are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals who make outstanding contributions in the fields of Chemistry, Physics, Literature, Peace, Physiology or Medicine and Economics.
 All but the economics prize were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation.
 The Nobel prize in Economics, or The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for outstanding contributions in the field of Economics.
 Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Swedish Academy awards the Prize in Literature, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.
 Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a cash prize that has varied throughout the years.
