"The multi-talented Albert Dulk (1819 -1864)" on the occasion of the award ceremony of the 3rd Albert Dulk Prize on Friday 14.11.2025 at 8 pm in the Kulturtreff Untertürkheim.
The prize is named after Albert Friedrich Benno Dulk, who was born in Königsberg in 1819 and died in Stuttgart in 1884. In the last 13 years of his life, Dulk made Untertürkheim his adopted home, where he was regarded as a dazzling figure. Dulk was a man of letters and a revolutionary, a globetrotter, socialist and free thinker, founder of one of the first German workers' associations; he lived for months as a hermit on Mount Sinai, was the first to swim across Lake Constance and was at times involved with three women at the same time. When his body was brought to Stuttgart's goods station for cremation in Gotha, which was banned in Württemberg, thousands followed the coffin covered with red and black and gold ribbons - a mass demonstration by the Social Democrats, who had been banned in Stuttgart for six years.
