Iffland-Ring

Iffland-Ring

The Iffland-Ring is a ring with the picture of August Wilhelm Iffland (an actor, dramatist and theatre director who played Franz Moor in the debut performance of Friedrich Schiller's "Die Räuber" in the National Theatre of Mannheim).

The bearer of the Iffland-Ring disposes the ring by will to someone whom he regards as the most significant German-speaking actor. One exception to this rule came in 1954 , when Werner Krauß was not determined by the previous bearer Albert Bassermann but by a committee of German-speaking actors. Bassermann had chosen three successors, but all died before him, so he was afraid to choose a fourth one.

The current bearer of the Iffland-Ring is the Swiss actor Bruno Ganz.

Since 1954, the Iffland-Ring has been earmarked as the state property of the Republic of Austria.
