German National Library, National library in Leipzig and Frankfurt, Germany

The German National Library branches in Leipzig and Frankfurt serve as central archival facilities, storing publications in German language since 1913.

Founded in 1912 in Leipzig, the library later expanded to Frankfurt after World War II in 1946 to maintain collections in both East and West Germany.

The library preserves German intellectual output through its collection of books, audio materials, digital publications, and maintains the German Museum of Books and Writing.

Both locations operate from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering reading rooms, borrowing services, and digital resources to over 180,000 annual visitors.

The German Music Archive relocated to Leipzig in 2010, housing the national collection of printed and recorded music in a specialized extension building.
