Deutsche Nationalbibliothek

The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (German National Library) is Germany’s largest library and the central repository for all published works in the country. It collects, preserves, and provides access to books, maps, music, and digital publications to ensure Germany’s cultural and literary heritage is safeguarded for future generations. Located in Frankfurt and Leipzig, it serves as a national reference point, cataloging and making available millions of items for research, education, and public interest. Its role is similar to that of other national libraries worldwide, supporting scholarship and promoting Germany’s cultural legacy.
