About Karl Bräuer and recipient Wilhelm Stieda (source: wikipedia):

Karl Brewer (* 16. July 1881 in Frankenthal (Palatinate); † 12 May 1964 in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German economist. He was a co-founder of the Taxpayers' Union and its second president from 1950 to 1961.

Life and work: Karl Bräuer studied history, philosophy, law and political science at the Universities of Heidelberg and Leipzig from 1902 after attending secondary school and doing practical work. In 1906 he passed the examination to become a business graduate at the Leipzig Commercial College. In 1907 he completed his studies at the University of Tübingen with a doctorate (Dr. sc. pole. The work is entitled The burden of the Adjacenten with sidewalk contributions according to Palatinate law and according to the system of individual particular rights.

Bräuer then worked as a research assistant at the Historical Commission in Frankfurt am Main, and later also at the Statistical Office. From 1912 Bräuer worked at the economics seminar at the University of Leipzig, from 1913 at the same time as a lecturer at the Political Science Academy. After participating in the First World War from 1914 to 1918 as a front-line soldier (Iron Cross 2nd Class) and 1. Class, Albrechtskreuz) Karl Bräuer habilitated in 1919 at the Technical University of Dresden. There he received an adjunct professorship in 1920. From 1922 to 1932 Bräuer was a full professor of economics and finance at the University of Breslau. In 1932 he moved to the University of Würzburg.

From 1935 to 1945, Bräuer taught - as the successor to Bruno Moll, who had been dismissed in 1934 because of his Jewish background - at the University of Leipzig. There he was a full professor of economics and public finance in the philological-historical department of the philosophical faculty. After his election as the new chairman of the Association for Social Policy failed, Bräuer became President of the German Economic Society in 1936.

Bräuer was born on 1 Arrested by the occupying power in May 1945 and put under political arrest. In 1946, the 65-year-old retired. In the course of denazification, he was placed in category IV, then classified as a "follower".

In 1949, Karl Bräuer founded the Taxpayers' Association together with others. From 1950 to 1960 he was, after Hermann Wunderlich, its second president. Then the 79-year-old brewer withdrew from the board.

Among other awards, Bräuer received the Goethe Medal for Art and Science (1941) and the Great Cross of Merit of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (1959).

Karl Bräuer was married to Anneliese, née Siedler.

After the publicist Volker Koop had prepared an expertise on the work of Karl Bräuer in the years 1933 to 1945 on behalf of the Taxpayers' Association, its board of directors decided in 2013 to rename the Karl Bräuer Institute and no longer award the Karl Bräuer Prize to rent. "The (previous) award winners will receive a new certificate afterwards, in which Karl Bräuer no longer appears." (President Reiner Holznagel 2013).

Academic activities: Bräuer has dealt with issues of finance, economic history, statistics and traffic science. In the 1920s he accompanied the reorganization of the Reich finances. In 1929 he dealt with the "question of involving physicians in trade tax". A lecture from 1933 is entitled: "The tragedy of the German economy, society and culture." Bräuer studied the tax system of the Anglo-Saxon area and used the system comparison as a method of knowledge. In the 1950s, Bräuer - then President of the Taxpayers' Association - discussed the "problems of financial and tax reform". Karl Bräuer was also editor of Teubner's handbook of political and economic studies in three volumes (1924-1928) and the financial and economic studies (32 volumes: 1927-1942).

Wilhelm Christian Herman Stieda (* 1. april july / 13 April 1852 Gregory in Riga; † 21 October 1933 in Leipzig) was a German political economist, economic historian and social reformer.

Life: In addition to studying economics and political science at the universities in Dorpat, Berlin, Paris and Strasbourg, Wilhelm Stieda devoted himself to studying history and social policy in Strasbourg, thanks to the influence of his teacher Gustav Schmoller. As a student in Dorpat he was a member of the Fraternitas Rigensis. In his doctoral thesis, Stieda still devoted himself to statistical topics, but with his habilitation in Strasbourg on the "Origin of the German guild system" in 1876, his real interest became clear.

Throughout his life, Stieda worked primarily in the field of trade and industry history as well as social policy and thus revised Wilhelm Roscher's national economy of trade and industry.

From 1876 he held chairs in Strasbourg, Dorpat and Rostock before accepting a call to the University of Leipzig in 1898 and accepting the chair in economics. From 1916 to 1917 he was also rector of the university. From 1904 he was a full member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Leipzig. He was also a member of the General Evangelical Lutheran Conference.

Edition of the Veckinchusen letters: Stieda's edition of the letters of the Hanseatic merchant Hildebrand Veckinchusen is particularly commendable. Since not only an extensive body of letters from this merchant, but also some merchant books, some of which have now been edited, have survived, his importance for Hanseatic research should not be underestimated. Stieda's letter edition is still in use today and has not yet been replaced by a current edition.
