Zentralbibliothek Zürich, Academic library in Kreis 1, Switzerland
The Zentralbibliothek Zürich maintains over five million items, including four million printed books, manuscripts, maps, and microfiches in its collection.
The library traces its origins to the Stiftsbibliothek of Grossmünster abbey from 1259 and gained its current form through a merger in 1917.
The institution functions as both a municipal library for Zürich residents and an academic library supporting the University of Zürich research community.
Located at Zähringerplatz 6, the library welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 20:00 and weekends from 9:00 to 17:00.
The library preserves 124,000 manuscripts and 243,000 maps, making it one of Switzerland's largest collections of historical documents.
