Hall of Fame der deutschen Forschung
Every year, the Hall of Fame der deutschen Forschung honors scientists whose achievements have helped to ensure Germany’s future viability as a science and business location. The award was launched in 2009 by manager magazin.
Since 2015, the award has been presented jointly with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany to continue to improve the relationship between science and business in Germany. The Hall of Fame der deutschen Forschung provides a unique platform for highlighting the economic benefits of these scientific achievements, thus presenting them to a wide audience.




The Hall of Fame der deutschen Forschung was established by manager magazin to underscore the importance of science for the German economy. After all, growth and prosperity can be secured only by venturing into the unknown. We will introduce the laureates, our jury and the Board of Trustees here.






The Hall of Fame der deutschen Forschung recognizes pioneers who have the courage to step out of their comfort zone and discover new frontiers. Their scientific work is the prerequisite for human progress.
