BREMEN, Germany, October 31, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — The German Environmental Award of the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU, Osnabr?ck) has been presented for the 18th time. The award, the most lucrative environmental prize in Europe, went to the business partners Dr. Winfried Barkhausen (51) and Edwin B?chter (41) from Herzogenrath near Aachen, and to Dr. Rainer Griesshammer (57), co-managing director of the Institute for Applied Ecology (Freiburg), who each received 245,000 euros. The special prize of the DBU, worth 10,000 euros, was awarded to the former president of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev – only the third time this prize has been presented in the DBU’s history. Barkhausen/B?chter received the prize for the mobile laser technique developed by their company, Clean-Lasersysteme. It cleans technical surfaces in an environmentally friendly way, while also offering economic advantages and optimising industrial safety. Griesshammer was given the award for the way he has promoted solutions in the environmental debate and made the issue of sustainability an integral part of everyday life. Gorbachev was honoured for his international involvement in environmental protection.
