Oberlausitzische Bibliothek der Wissenschaften, Museum library at Neißstraße 30, Görlitz, Germany.
The Upper Lusatian Library of Sciences in Görlitz is a scholarly library holding around 150,000 books from different centuries. The collection reaches back to the 15th century and includes rare works such as the Francysk Skaryna Bible.
The library was formed in 1950 by combining two collections: the Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences and the Milich Library, with roots reaching back to 1727. This merger created one of the most significant collections between Dresden and Wroclaw.
The collection reflects the region's history through books spanning different periods, showing how knowledge developed in this area over time. You can see how successive collectors preserved these materials for future generations.
The historic book hall is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and can be visited by the public. It is helpful to check beforehand to confirm that your visit aligns with the location at Neißstraße 30.
The book hall was designed using architectural elements from baroque theater design, with triumphal arches dividing different knowledge spaces. This unusual approach makes spending time there a special visual experience.
