Walter Hallstein Prize

The Walter Hallstein Prize (German: Walter-Hallstein-Preis) is a prize that, from 2002 to 2008, was awarded every November by the Goethe University Frankfurt, the town of Frankfurt am Main and the Dresdner Bank AG for outstanding services to the cause of European integration. The prize had a cash value of 20,000 euros.

The award ceremony was held in the Römer in Frankfurt and used to be part of the Hallstein Colloquium, which is an academic colloquium organized by the Wilhelm Merton Centre for European Integration and International Economic Order at the University of Frankfurt. The prize was named after Walter Hallstein, the president of the first commission of the European Economic Community.
