Iffland-ringThe Iffland-Ring is a ring with the picture of August Wilhelm Iffland (an actor, dramatist and theatre director who played Franz Moor in the debut performance of Friedrich Schiller's Die Ruber in the national theatre of Mannheim). The bearer of the Iffland-Ring disposes the ring by will to someone who he thinks of as the most significant german-speaking actor. One exception to this rule came in 1954 when Werner Krau wasn't determined by his previous bearer Alfred Bassermann but by a gremium of german-speaking actors. Bassermann chose three heirs but all died before him so he was afraid to choose a fourth one. The current bearer of the Iffland-Ring is swiss actor Bruno Ganz. Since 1954 the Iffland-Ring is an earmarked state property of the Republic of Austria. Bearers of the Iffland-Ring *Ludwig Devrient
