Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state library

The Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state library is housed in a building on Johannes-Stelling-Straße and collects books, periodicals, and historical documents about the region. The collection includes materials from universities and local archives that are available to researchers and interested readers.

The institution was founded in the late 18th century to preserve documents about the region. Through various moves and expansions, it grew into a central location for collecting regional written records.

The library holds materials documenting the region's history and identity, serving as a gathering place for people interested in local affairs. Visitors find sources that deepen understanding of the area and how it has evolved.

The catalog is viewable online and allows you to search collections and access resources from partner institutions. Visitors should check in advance which materials are available on-site and whether a visit is possible.

The library works within a European network of libraries, enabling access to collections from many partner institutions. This system connects the local collection with a much larger, cross-regional pool of materials.
