People From Sollentuna Municipality
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Deutscher Krimi Preis
The Deutscher Krimi Preis, or the ''German Crime Fiction Award'', is the oldest and most prestigious German literary prize for crime fiction. It has been awarded since 1985 by the Bochum Crime Archive. Unlike the Friedrich Glauser Prize, which is awarded by the authors' group ''The Syndicate'', the judges are literary scholars, critics and booksellers. By their own definition, they appreciate the ''literary skill and original content that give the genre a new impetus.'' The best new releases of German crime fiction are awarded prizes numbered 1 through 3. In a second category, there are also three awards for newly translated works by international authors. From its inception, it was decided to not hold a public award ceremony for the winners. However, in 2003, the award was presented publicly as part of the Munich Crime Festival for the first time. In 2004, a public ceremony was held on the occasion of the festival ''Murder on the Hellweg'' in Unna. In the subsequent years there was ...
