Municipal Library Hanover, Public library in Südstadt-Bult, Germany.
The Municipal Library of Hanover features a distinctive red brick exterior with a corner tower and vertical pilaster strips reflecting its steel framework.
Between 1929 and 1931, architect Karl Elkart designed this ten-story structure, establishing Europe's first high-rise library with a five-story book repository.
The library network includes specialized sections for different age groups and maintains substantial collections of literature, media, and educational materials.
The facility operates from Monday through Saturday, offering reading rooms, computer stations, and digital services through the Hanoverian online library system.
The building's architecture incorporates hard-fired clinker bricks in brown, red, and violet tones, exemplifying the Northern German Brick Expressionism movement.
