Every two years since 1991, the City of Osnabrück has awarded the Peace Prize named after the world-famous Osnabrück-born writer Erich Maria Remarque. In 2019, the award was presented for the fifteenth time to the Kenyan writer and cultural scientist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, primarily with regard to his enlightened anti-colonialist themes, his reference to traditional African theater and storytelling, and his advocacy for the preservation of the mother tongue as a means of identification.

The "Sea-Watch" association received the special prize of 5,000 euros. This is intended to honor the civilian commitment to the rescue of refugees at sea and to bring it more into the public eye. In addition, the award also honored the advocacy of legal escape and entry routes as well as the demand for the rescue of refugees in distress at sea by the responsible European institutions. The initiative, which is financed exclusively by donations, is supported by volunteers from all over Europe. "Sea-Watch" has been involved in the rescue of over 40,000 people to date.

The award ceremony events were musically accompanied by Ray Lema, who is one of the most remarkable musicians of the world music scene. He combines classical and jazz, world music and rock and thrilled the audience.

The documentation contains the ceremonial addresses, the laudations and speeches of thanks, as well as a rich selection of photos. Also included are the lyrics of the songs presented by Ray Lema. A documentation of the coverage of the award ceremony in the international media completes the volume.

The documentation is available at the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Center, Markt 6, 49074 Osnabrück (0541 969-2440) and in bookstores.
