The Anton Gindely-Award for Culture and History of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe had been awarded since 1997 by the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe to honour scientists whose work has made a special contribution to cross-border cultural and historical understanding in the linguistic, national and confessional diversity of the region and thus to understanding the roots of the “new Europe”. It follows on from the Anton Gindely-Award for the History of the Danube Monarchy (1979-1991) and the Anton Gindely State Prize for the History of the Danube Monarchy and Central Europe (1992-1996). The award is named after the historian Anton Gindely (1829-1892), son of a German-Hungarian father and a Czech mother, from 1867 full professor of Charles University Prague, member of the Academy of Sciences in Vienna, history teacher of Crown Prince Rudolf.
Because of his supranational, conciliatory attitude, Gindely was the victim of attacks from opposing national chauvinist camps.
The Gindely Award was awarded by the Federal Ministry of Science and Research until 2010 and was endowed with € 7,200.
The jury was chaired by Univ. Prof. Dr. Ernst Bruckmüller from the University of Vienna.
