The Gmelin-Beilstein Memorial Medal is awarded by the GDCh to national and international personalities who have made special contributions to the History of Chemistry, chemical literature or chemical information. The prize was donated by Hoechst AG in 1954 and has been financed by the GDCh since 1996. The award commemorates Messrs. Leopold Gmelin and Friedrich Beilstein, who published the first handbooks on inorganic and organic chemistry in the 19th century.
The GDCh honors Dr. Eva E. Wille with the Gmelin-Beilstein commemorative coin 2024. She receives the prize for her extraordinary commitment to promoting and further developing chemical literature. In particular, their successful promotion of chemical history literature and the classification of various areas of chemistry in a historical context, for example during the National Socialist era, are honored. The honor is given in recognition of her significant role in the founding and long-term support of Chemistry Europe, the association of 16 European chemical societies to jointly publish chemical journals. The journals publish top international research and are a beacon for the excellence of chemical research in Germany, Europe and worldwide.
