Library of the Cusanusstift, Library within St. Nikolaus-Hospital in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany.

The Library of the Cusanusstift is a collection of manuscripts and theological texts housed in a historic building that forms part of the larger St. Nikolaus-Hospital complex along the Moselle River. The rooms hold old texts that have been carefully gathered and maintained over many centuries.

The scholar Nicholas of Cusa founded this institution in 1458 as a foundation that combined shelter and medical care for the needy with a center for scholarly study. Over the decades, the collection grew and the spaces remained a place of learning and faith.

The library is run by the Cusanus Foundation and belongs to the Working Group of Catholic Theological Libraries. Of the 314 manuscripts catalogued by Jakob Marx, only seven contain German texts; Conrad Borchling recorded them in 1909 for the Manuscript Archive. The historical holdings of 1,841 titles are not expanded.

The library is located in Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle in a section of the larger hospital complex that is easily reached on foot. Visitors should plan ahead as opening hours are limited and prior arrangement may be needed to view the collection.

Of the 314 manuscripts catalogued by Jakob Marx, only seven contain German texts; Conrad Borchling recorded these in 1909 for the "Handschriftenarchiv". The rest are mostly Latin. All manuscripts were microfilmed in the 1960s.
