Restriction of access to holdings in the library as of Tuesday, 11 April 2023

Due to fire safety measures, the Education and Sports sections in the basement of the library may no longer be accessible to the public. However, it is planned to move the holdings located there and make them directly accessible again. The literature in question can be ordered for the duration of the move.

In the course of the relocation measures, the library location will be redesigned. Despite the drastic fire protection regulations, we hope to keep the location attractive, to make the literature available for the subject groups on site and thus to meet the wishes of our users.
