Das Zentrum is home to a German-English library with over 8000 items, predominantly in German, that are publicly available. You can browse our library in person during our opening times or search our items in our database before your visit. Anybody is welcome to access our resources during the opening times. Members can also borrow those items and take them home. Our friendly library volunteers can help you find your way around the library and will assist you in borrowing the items as well as membership or other enquiries.
