New with an expected starting date of 24 August 2020: Self-service pick-up of books from the Central Library open stacks areas

With an expected starting date of 24 August, we are planning to resume the self-service pick-up of books from the open stacks areas in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd segments. Patrons will then be able to pick up books from these areas during opening hours - for studying on-site-only reference literature as well as for borrowing books available for circulation via our Service Counter. We are currently implementing comprehensive hygiene and safety precautions so that we can provide you with access to an area of several thousand square metres on two floors under corona conditions.

  • Mon-Fri 9 a.m. - 6.30 p.m.
  • Sat 11 a.m. - 4.30 p.m.


Thus, from 17 August the usage sessions of our individual workstations on the ground floor of the 3rd segment will be:
