Essen / Bremen - The award, endowed with 20,000 euros, was presented on Saturday evening at a gala in the Aalto Theater in Essen.

Härtel (71) was a dancer herself and then switched to film documentation of dance theater.

The dance film institute she founded in 1988/89 now has an archive with more than 40,000 data carriers.

The dance prize is awarded by the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.

In addition to Härtel, the dance teacher Ursula Borrmann, the choreographer Claire Cunningham and the theater lawyer Adil Laraki were honored.
