Augsburg State and Municipal Library, Regional library in Augsburg, Germany

The State and Municipal Library occupies a neo-Baroque building from 1893, featuring large Orangery windows and a central staircase designed by Maurizio Pedetti.

Founded in 1537 during the Reformation, the library started as a collection of manuscripts from local monasteries and gained recognition for liberal arts studies in Germany.

The library maintains a collection of incunabula and early printed books from medieval and Renaissance periods, contributing to regional literature and scholarship.

The building covers 12,800 square meters and will undergo extensive renovations starting in 2024 to create modern research spaces while maintaining historical elements.

The library's structure incorporates remnants of Augsburg's old city wall and utilizes steel construction principles common to stack libraries of the 1890s period.
