History
editThe prize was introduced to replace the Alfred Bauer Prize,[2][3] which was suspended in 2020 after it was revealed that its namesake Alfred Bauer, the founding director of the festival, had been an active high-ranking Nazi closely involved in a propaganda organisation set up by Joseph Goebbels.[4][5] In its place, the international jury presented the "Silver Bear – 70th Berlinale" at the 2020 Festival.[6] The new Silver Bear Jury Prize was first presented at the 2021 Festival,[7] where Maria Speth was its inaugural winner.
