After September 2004, the Association stopped awarding the prize. Starting from autumn 2005, the Association has instead awarded the similarly named Deutscher Buchpreis at the Frankfurt Book Fair, to a single German-language novel each year. At the Leipzig Book Fair, the Leipzig Book Fair Prize has been awarded since spring 2005, in three categories: fiction, nonfiction and translation.
Listed below are the prizewinners of the award by category.[1] The Deutscher Buchpreis, which replaced the award, is awarded to only one German-language book each year.
