After joining the institution in 1997, he took on a staff position in 2017. His appoint- ment coincided with the first major redesign of the memorial between 1997 and 2003. In October 2015, he was presented with the “Archivist of the Year Award” in New York City, USA. The prize is presented annually by the non-profit Scone Foundation. Albert Knoll remains committed to the Bavarian Memorial Foundation and its work; he has been appointed to the Board of Trustees.
