New City Library Heidenheim

The New City Library Heidenheim features a modern cube-shaped design with a flat roof and spans 2,040 square meters of usable space across multiple floors.

The library's history dates back to 1910 when the city council established the first public collection with books from a community reading collection near the train station.

The library maintains a collection of sculptures and print graphics through its Graphothek department, which began lending art pieces to the public in 1985.

The current library building at Willy-Brandt-Platz includes reading spaces, event rooms, a café, and provides access to over 7,300 international newspapers through PressReader.

The facility doubles the space of its predecessor at Elmar-Doch-Haus and resulted from a European-wide architectural competition launched in 2013.
