"Emil also managed what only a few Swiss were able to do," adds co-organizer Rik Krieger (44). "Namely to inspire a lot of people in Germany with his talent."
For Steinberger it is not the first award for his life's work: in 2003 he was awarded the rose of honor at the Rose d'Or. In 2010 he received the Swiss Lifetime Award in a large SRF gala. In 2021 he received the honorary award of the German cabaret prize.
