New City Library Heidenheim, Public library in Heidenheim an der Brenz, Germany

The New City Library Heidenheim is a modern cube-shaped building at Willy-Brandt-Platz with multiple floors offering reading spaces, work areas, event rooms, and a café. The collection includes books, periodicals, and digital access to thousands of international newspapers through PressReader.

The library was founded after an April 1910 city council decision, initially housed in the weaving school at the train station with holdings from a private Volksvorlesebibliothek. It moved several times, including to the Hallamt in 1953, and in 1979 the central library moved with about 32,000 books into the Elmar-Doch-Haus. The current building at Willy-Brandt-Platz opened on 10 November 2017.

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 building is organized into zones with varying noise levels, allowing you to choose between quiet study spaces and more social areas. Its central location with good access and parking makes it convenient to visit.

The building is more than 110 metres long, with a floor plan that narrows from north to south and a facade of light beige brick. It also houses the city archive, the district media centre and the administration of the city's historical museums.
