Library Tharandt / Forestry

The library of the Department of Forest Sciences is located in the centre of the Tharandt campus in the Rossmässler Building. More than 150,000 subject-specific media are available here.

The valuable old holdings with works from the 16th to the 19th century, which are among the most comprehensive historical collections in the German-speaking world, especially in forestry and hunting, deserve special mention. A special feature is also the collection of final and diploma theses from the Department of Forest Sciences, which has been kept since 1876 and also includes bachelor's and master's theses.

Workplaces and technology

Here you can read and learn in a relaxed atmosphere - surrounded by nature. Use our workstations in the reading room or settle down in comfortable seating areas. For small groups of up to eight people, workstations can be linked to an interactive whiteboard screen, which can be used to work together on presentations, for example.

In the special reading room with six seats you can primarily use the works of our extensive old collection or work together as a group undisturbed. Our electronic research and information services are available to you at the PC workstations in the open access area and via Wifi. For free copying, you can use the book scanner and the colour inspection scanner as well as a scanning tent on site.

It is also possible to use our premises for small-scale lectures and events by arrangement. Enjoy the natural environment for studying and learning - even in a deck chair on the lawn behind the house!
