Court Library Aschaffenburg, Regional library in Schloss Johannisburg, Aschaffenburg, Germany.
The Court Library occupies dedicated spaces within Schloss Johannisburg, containing over 135,000 volumes spanning humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal, the Elector and Archbishop of Mainz, established the Court Library in 1780 with Wilhelm Heinse as its first librarian.
The collection includes 58 manuscripts, 162 incunabula, and 30,000 books published before 1900, along with prints, Reformation pamphlets, and historical maps.
The library opens Monday through Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00, Tuesday until 18:00, and Friday from 10:00 to 16:00, offering wheelchair access to all visitors.
During World War II, the entire collection relocated for protection, returning to Schloss Johannisburg in 1960 after the castle's restoration from wartime damage.
