Our library is a public space for anyone who wants to read, work, watch a film, listen to music or just take a coffee break in an oasis of calm. Visit us and explore the culture of today's Germany. A colourful place where Europe and the rest of the world come together.
More than 35,000 German-language media can be downloaded from our eLibrary (called the "Onleihe"). Free of charge, around the clock, and from any location.
For those needing a desk to work or study, the library offers a variety of settings, some with iPads. Experiment with our interactive artwork: Seat #12.
German as a foreign language is a focus point of our collection. Goethe-Institut language students, German teachers and A-level students will find a wide choice of materials on offer.
Non-German speakers might be surprised to hear that the library has a wide choice of English language materials. From German novels in translation to subtitled films, we hope to cater for your interests.
