The German Design Award is presented by the German Design Council, the national brand and design authority responsible for the high-level task of representing German design. Established as a foundation in 1953 at the initiative of the German Parliament, the German Design Council helps the business world consistently strive to achieve brand value through design. This makes it a world-leading centre of expertise for communication and brand guidance within the field of design. The exclusive network of foundation members not only includes professional associations and institutions but also, and in particular, the owners and brand drivers of many well-known companies.
