Fritz-Höger-Preis
The former name of an international architecture prize recognizing the use of brick in building design.
The prize was awarded for architecture in brick under the name of Fritz Höger, the architect of the Chilehaus in Hamburg.
It was given in several categories and included buildings outside Germany, so the material rather than the location decides eligibility.
The distinction concerns the architectural use of brick in the submitted project. It is an award for completed design work, rather than a certificate for the technical performance of a brick product.
