Mommsen Prize Award ceremony of the first Wolfgang J. Mommsen Prize in 2010 In 2010, the German Historical Institute London awarded the Wolfgang J. Mommsen Prize for the first time on the occasion of its Annual Lecture. The Wolfgang J. Mommsen Prize is named in memory of the former director of the German Historical Institute London, who died in 2004. Wolfgang J. Mommsen would have celebrated his eightieth birthday that year. The prize will be awarded to the author of an outstanding piece of German research on British history and covers the cost of translating the work into English and publishing it in the Institute's series Studies in British and Imperial History. The aim of the series is to make German research on British history more accessible to a British readership. Both the prize and the series thus further the Institute’s mission of advancing British–German research in the field of history. Wolfgang J.
