Our selected collection

Julian Voloj, Marcin Podolec Ein Leben für den Fußball: die Geschichte von Oskar Rohr

Oskar Rohr (1912–1988) is a German football legend. In 1932, he helped Bayern Munich win their first German championship, before moving abroad and playing in France from 1934 onwards. During the Third Reich, he was therefore regarded as a ‘deserter’ and was declared a persona non grata at the outbreak of war. This marked the beginning of the professional footballer’s flight and subsequent internment. ‘The graphic novel recounts all this in a concise, yet vivid and gripping manner.’

Article for reading

Tabletop Games Let the Games begin!

More board and card games are sold in Germany than in any other country. They guarantee fun, variety – and sometimes even divorce: an article about good moods and bad losers.

At first sight, the library feels cozy and warm, almost like a quiet retreat. But once you begin exploring the shelves, you discover works of real depth, especially in philosophy.
