People in the city and region
You must be at least 14 years old and have a permanent residence in Germany to request a library card. Additional conditions apply for minors.
You want to borrow media or use our computer workstations? We will gladly issue you a library card. There is a one-off deposit of € 7 for this.
Collecting your card
We will notify you by email when you can collect your card. Please come in person to the Information Desk of the Main Library. You can pay the deposit of 7.00 € either in cash or with your debit card (EC card).
Our service hours for collection:
- for cash payment: Mon-Thurs 08:30-16:00, Fri 08:30-13:00
- for payment by debit card: Mon-Fri 08:30-18:00, Sat 09:00-16:30.
You will receive your library card on presentation of your valid identity card (or passport + current certificate of registration).
Information for school classes and visitor groups:
For organisational reasons, we can only issue pre-ordered library cards to individuals and not to larger groups, such as visitors to our courses or training events. In such cases, please collect your library card later during the above-mentioned service times, e.g. on the day you first borrow media from the University Library.
