SUB news

From Saturday, 7 February 2026, the Central Library will close at 18:00 The reason for this is the failure of the emergency lighting. As a result, the escape routes are not adequately lit after dark and the safety of users cannot be guaranteed. The building services department is already working flat out on repairs. The work is expected to be completed on Friday, 20 February 2026, and regular opening hours will resume.

The renovation work in the Waldweg library has been completed. The reading room is once again fully available as a study area, and lending services are running as usual. The bookshelves, some of which are still empty, are gradually being refilled, so that the full range of books will soon be available to you. A new feature is a group room with a monitor, which is available for collaborative work. 

From 2026, the SUB will offer all university members campus-wide access to the prometheus image database.
