Since 1951 it has awarded the Georg Büchner Prize, the most important literary prize in the German language.
In 1976, he was awarded the Georg Büchner Prize by the Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung for his literary oeuvre with the words "einem Lyriker, der Farbe, Melos und Kontur zu vereinen weiß; einem Essayisten, der sich dem dichten und zugleich schwingenden Satz hingibt; einem Erzähler, der Zeit, Umwelt und Schicksal hereinzieht, ohne sich ihnen anders als in persönlich gefärbter Sprache und Gestalt zu unterwerfen".
Wilhelm Michel (born in Metz on 9 August 1877; died in Darmstadt on 16 April 1942) was a German writer who won the 1925 Georg Büchner Prize.
