The captain and human rights activist Carola Rackete was the first winner of the Karl Küpper Prize* for her special level of commitment and moral courage.

The activist has been involved in sea rescue and refugee aid for years. "Carola Rackete has shown a lot of courage and humanity and has accepted media condemnation, legal persecution and open hostility in return. We all deserve admiration for this", says Christoph Kuckelkorn, the president of the celebration committee.

Carola Rackete announced to donate the prize money of 10,000 € for refugees in Libya.


* The prize was created on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of the exceptional carnivalist in 2020 to honour his commitment to freedom of expression and his courageous engagement against National Socialism.
The well-known Cologne carnival speaker Karl Küpper often used his appearances to criticise the Nazi regime and did not allow himself to be intimidated by reprisals and bans on speaking. With his critical attitude he not only pointed out existing grievances, but also serves as a role model far beyond carnival.
