State Library of Berlin
State Library of Berlin, Research library in Mitte, Germany
The State Library of Berlin building rises 28 meters high on Unter den Linden boulevard, featuring neo-baroque architectural elements and a glass reading room.
The institution dates back to 1661 when it started as the Electoral Library, later expanding its collection through Prussia's first legal deposit law in 1699.
The library maintains over 200 million items, including manuscripts from Bach and Mozart, plus the original score of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Visitors need to obtain a library card to access the collections, with materials published after 1921 available for borrowing within Germany.
The facility operates across two locations: Unter den Linden for historical materials and Potsdamer Strasse for modern collections after Germany's reunification.
