Bauen für die Ewigkeit
In the organizer's words:
The German National Library in Leipzig is getting an extension - the fifth in its history. Experience how the past, present and future come together in Germany's largest archive library at its founding location in Leipzig.
During the exclusive guided tour with Johannes Neuer, Director of the German National Library in Leipzig, you will learn more about the current measures, milestones and plans.
At the time of its foundation, the architects had already planned to extend the building every 20 years or so to accommodate the constantly growing collections. Since then, the building has been extended four times, with the last extension opening in 2011. Soon all the stacks at the Leipzig site will once again be at capacity. For this reason, an extension is being built on the south-eastern flank of the original building on Deutscher Platz - the fifth in the museum's history.
The tour takes place as part of the 13th Leipzig Days of Industrial Culture (September 8 to 14, 2025).
