The award was donated by Carl Duisberg in 1912 on the occasion of Emil Fischer's 60th birthday and was initially financed by the Carl Duisberg Foundation and later from a special fund of the GDCh. Emil Fischer was one of the most important chemists of his time and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1902 for his sugar and purine work.

Current awardee: Peter Bäuerle, University of Ulm
