The prize, which is awarded every year for the best historical doctoral thesis by the Faculty of History, was presented on December 07 2022 at a ceremony in Berlin. The jury concluded: "The fascinating study of Johannes Czakai makes visible Jewish-Christian lifeworlds around 1800 through the theme of naming. At the same time, it is an important contribution to a modern administrative history of the Habsburg Monarchy. The study offers empirical and methodological basic research on a broad source basis and at the highest level of presentation."

Already in October of this year, the dissertation received the Research Award of the Institute for the History of Persons (Institut für Personengeschichte) in Bensheim, Germany. 

Johannes Czakai’s dissertation was published with Wallstein in 2021.
