Did you know? The first Bambis were awarded in Karlsruhe! On March 6, 1955, 70 years ago, the Bambi Film Award was presented for the first time in the fan-shaped city as part of a public ceremony. Until 1964, the events attracted thousands of fans and were a highly regarded event in the film world. World-class stars such as Rock Hudson and Sophia Loren and national stars such as Heinz Rühmann and Liselotte Pulver attended the Bambi celebrations in what was still a rather tranquil city at the time. The city museum in the Prinz-Max-Palais brings this era to life in the special exhibition "Film stars in the fan-shaped city. The Bambi Awards in Karlsruhe" brings this era back to life.
Invented in 1948 by the magazine "Film-Revue", the Bambi film prize quickly gained widespread recognition as an important award for national and international actors and actresses. What made it special was that the unmistakable trophy in the shape of a fawn was an audience award. Readers voted on who should take home the coveted prize.
Original Bambis, film posters and historical photos of the stars bring this glamorous event to life.
