Description

Built at the end of the 19th century, the building is considered one of the first purpose-built libraries in Germany. The considerations regarding book storage at that time are still valid today. During the guided tour, visitors can view the storage area, which is not otherwise open to the public.

Take a look behind the scenes at the University and State Library of Saxony-Anhalt. On a tour of the historic storage building, you will learn interesting facts about the architecture of the building, the special collections it houses, and the tasks of the largest academic general library in the federal state.
