The university library is THE central information centre at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. As a library and lecture hall centre, it is a popular meeting place for students and one of the most important communication centres on campus. Numerous and varied workstations, expert advice and an extensive stock of historical and current literature on the university profile are available to our users in print and online.
Our library, founded in 1765, is also known far beyond Germany for its outstanding old stock of geoscientific and mining literature. Current topics such as open science, research data management and mixed reality are also part of our remit.
