Stay healthy!

Due to the upcoming extensive renovation work on the east tower of Friedenstein Castle, the Gotha Research Library will have to move out large parts of the book collections housed there.

Lending / Reading rooms

From 19 April to 15 August 2022, large parts of our printed works will not be available for use.

The manuscripts and the holdings of the Perthes Collection will continue to be fully usable during the aforementioned period.
